The price of VASELINE is now so low, and its value so universally recognised, that it is
coming into general use in Medicine, Pharmacy, and the Arts.

BEWARE OF ALL IMITATIONS— See that OUR NAME and TRADE MARK " VASELINE" IS ON EVERY PACKAGE.

VASELINE

JELLY

As an emollient, Vaseline is superior to any other substance yet discovered. Its marvellous healing and restoring qualities
excel everything else, and it is rapidly taking its place on the toilet table to the exclusion of the various complexion powders,
pomades, cosmetics, and other compounds. It 'will keep the skin clearer, softer, and smoother than any cosmetic ever invented,
and will preserve the youthful beauty and freshness of the healthy complexion.

Endorsed by the entire Medical Press of England, France, Germany, America. &c. In general use in Hospitals, and
recommended by the most distinguished Physicians, Surgeons, and Chemists throughout the world.

All soaps made, except the above, are derived from coarse animal fats, in many cases rancid, and in all cases liable to become
rancid. There can be nothing healing or soothing to the skin in soaps so manufactured, however pleasantly perfumed they may be.

So-called detergent soaps are made in this manner, and flavoured with a strong irritating chemical which injures the skin.
Vaseline is used by ALL MEDICAL MEN as the most healing substance known; and made into soap, retains all its virtues.
It is the most delicate and elegant Toilet Soap that is made.

Extract from The Lancet, Mai ch 12th, 1881 : — " The Tristniirient of which the enclosed is an illustration (and which I have named ' The Desidera-
tum ' for the puipose of registration) was invented by me to obviate as far as possible the awkwardness atd inconvenience attendant on the eating of
their meals by persons deprived of the use of eithsr arm." Extiact from the Bbit. Med. JOURNAL, March 19th, 18il : — " It is on the principle of the
shears being foimcd of a fork and cutting blade, w hich enables the person tisirg it to divide at will and raise his or her food." Extract from the Med-
Prkss and Circular. March IGtb, 1881 :— *' It can be bad to suit either the right or left band, and with or without an indentation (which acts as a
tooth) on the fork edge." Extract from M' D. Times and Gazette, March 19th, U81 : — " Messrs. Arnold & Sous, of West Smithfield, have most intelli-
gently carried out my design."

These Extracts have always had the highest reputation ; they are all of our own manufacture, are guaranteed j>v«*es and
of triple strength, and will compare favourably with any in the Trade.

N.B. — Owing to the failure of the "VIOLET crop in 1880, however, this Extract is advanced in price, and will probably
remain high for some time. Purchasers are warned against the spurious Ext. Violets already in the market.

mHE Proprietor of the above now supplies vendors

of which The Chemist and Druggist, June 1880, saya
— "As the author has had a special experience in thi.'i
branch of practice, his hints may be expected to be
trustworthy ;" and of which the Monthly Magazine
of Pha rmacy also says — " Chemists selling Stedman's
Powders would do well to secure a supply of the
book for their counters." Where agents do not caro
themselves to prescribe, the proprietor is confident
his pamphlet will increase their business, and where
doctors are distant and difficult to get at, reliable
Nursery Medicines are justly esteemed.

The pamphlet will be indented and sent for
enclosure upon instructions. Mind the brand.

REPORT on the TEETHING POWDER prepared dy
Mr. JAS. STEUMAN, IIoxton.

I hereby certify that I have purchased a sample of
Stedman's Teething: Powder, and have, at the request of
the Proprietor, subjected it to Analysis for Morphia os
Opium in any form.

I am enabled to state, that I found the sample in
question to be absolutely free from Morphia, or any other
Alkaloid or constituent of Opium.

Thus Stedman's Teething Powder is favourably dis-
tinguished from similar preparations.

ALL CHEMISTS AND DRD66ISTS

Should request the Antitropic Company to send them Pamphlets
describing the wonderful efficacy ofGrLiAGIALiIiy!E)l,

for when it is once understood what this tasteless, odourless,
harmless Preservative can accomplish,

EVERY CHEMIST WOULD FEEL BOUND TO
KEEP GLACIALINE IN STOCK.

IT IS PERFECTLY TRUE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE TAINTED FOOD OR SOUR DRINK OF ANY KIND

IF YOU WOULD USE

GLACIALINE

THE UNFAILING PRESERVATIVE OF

MILK, CREAM, BUTTER AND EGGS,
MEAT, FISH, AND ALL FOOD.

fM API Al By ST ^ P"10^ °f this Tasteless and Harmless Compound put into Mill-, Beer, Wine, or
IjLflulnLlliEal 8pup will prevent a pint of these, or any other fluids, from turning sour. To
exemplify How Cheap Glacialine is : — By simply dissolving the contents of a packet in water, one
gallon of a perfect preservative is obtained, which will prevent several Cwts. of Meat, Fish, or Game from
becoming tainted, while hundreds of Eggs may be kept as fresh as new-laid from June to Christmas ; a
firkin of Butter preserved in freshness and delicate aroma ; or 60 Gallons of Milk or Cream may be so
preserved that it may be transmitted with safety by Rail or Boat.

Extract from "THE LANCET," January 1, 1881.

" A food preservative termed ' Glacialine ' has recently been introduced to public
notice, and has already acquired a deservedly wide reputation. It possesses the remark-
able property of preventing putrefaction and obviating fermentative change in liquids
and solid foods.

" We believe an enormous amount of Sickness and Death among Children
would be prevented by simply using a small quantity of this perfectly harmless
Glacialine in their Food.— J. Stuart, M.D., E. Davies, L.R.C.P., Edin."

TESTIMONIALS from all parts of the world, and from all Classes, including Nobility, Gentry,
Clergy, Medical and Scientific Men, Business Men, &c, will be found in the Pamphlets,

which will be forwarded on request.
GLACIALINE is Sold in Elegant Canisters at 2/3 ; in 9 oz. Packets at 2 /, by all the leading Chemists & Druggists.

" Dear Sir, — We wish to convey to you, unsolicited, our appreciation and entire satisfaction with the
Double Soda Water Pumps (largre size) made by you and forwarded to us by Edgar Breffit & Co., Loudon
and Yorkshire. These reached Dunedin, per ship ' Zealandia,' in 1880, in splendid order and condition.
We have had them working constantly six or seven months now, and for cheapness, durability and finish,
combined with their strong carbonating power, we have seen nothing to equal them in 20 years' practical
experience. " We are, dear Sir, yours faithfully,

THOMSON & CO.

no Arsenic or any Injurious
Ingredient. This preparation
has the advantage over similar
preparations in being quite
Painless. It is an entirely new
mixture, and though only
discovered quite recently, it
already commands a lar.-e sale,
and is rapidly superseding all
similar preparations. Testi-
monials received from most
respectable firms.

Directions for Use

Apply a thick coating of the

It possesses in a pre-eminent degree the first essentials of
any Marking Ink — Permanence and Blackness — which the ex-
perience of a quarter of a century has proved. The Ink is fluid
aud never dries up in the bottles, which is the case with most
of the Marking Inks in use at present. When once introduced
jt is a source of satisfaction to the pharmacist and the customer.

Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great Britain & Ireland ; CfwfplkjiSJ °^ Russia; Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria;
Their Boyal Highnesses the Prince and Princes3 Lewis, King of Portugal ; H R H. Frederick

of Wales; William, King of Prussia; ffiii'TEifiSS^iSa William, Crown Prince of Prussia.

In consequence of increasing inquiries from the Colonies for my Eau de Cologne, the only genuine, I
beg to submit my Price Current.

At the same time I beg to call special attention to the following facsimile of my Trade Mark, for the
protection of which I have instituted thirteen suits in the High Court of Chancery, all of which have been
decided in my favour.

All similar Labels being more or less imitations of the same, I shall proceed as before against all persons
selling or exposing for sale any such imitations.

I only prepare one quality of Eau de Cologne. This quality never varies in the slightest degree, and there
has not been the smallest change in the manufacture since the year 1709, when it was invented by my ancestor.

Orders equal to at least 12 dozen short bottles will be promptly executed at 12«. 6 d. per dozen, against my
bill drawn at three months from the date of invoice, delivered free on board the export ship, at Rotterdam,
Antwerp, Hamburg, or Bremen, no charge being made for the case and packing, but insurance charged extra.
7^ per cent, discount is allowed for orders equal to at least 100 dozen, but on no smaller quantities.

I may add that, as I do not draw on the Colonies, all Orders must be accompanied by a credit on some
London House, or permission to draw on same at three months.

The Goods can also be shipped in transit through London at a very small additional expense, full particulars
of which may be obtained of my Sole Agents for Great Britain and Ireland : — ■

EVANS'S EXTRACT OF MALT.

Strongly Recommended in Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption,
Atrophy, Indigestion, and in Stomach Coughs.

(Vide Report of Professor Attfield, Ph.D., F.C.S., Professor of Chemistry

to the Phar. Soc. of Great Britain.)
jVoi'., 1872. — ''Evans's Extract is incomparably more valuable than any pre-
paration of Malt hitherto ottered to the public."

EV-A.HSrS'S STlrHFTia.

The introduction of tin's Preparation to the notice of the Profession for
every variety of bleeding arose from the desire expressed by several eminent
Physicians and many patients to obtain an efficient Styptic at a moderate
price — Ruspini's celebrated Styptic being so costly.

P. C. SMYLY, M.D., &c. Surgeon to the Miath Hospital, wri'es :— " I find it of the
greatest use, in fact, in every inst nice wag equal, if nut superior, to KuMpim's Styptic."

T. P. Mason, M.D., Sic, J'ln/sician to Mercer's Hospital, writes :_" Ttc Myptic
you had the poodness to forward to me, I found highly advantageous iu the
Ha:morrha<ie of Phthisis.

Messrs. Morris & Griffin,

Gentlemen, — I beg to report that I have analysed
the sample of Disinfecting Powder received from you
on the 8th inst., and find it to be the best Disinfecting
Powder I have had brought to my notice. I find it to
contain 22 per cent, of Commercial Carbolic Acid, and
to be free from Tar Oils. I have pleasure in recom-
mending it to the notice of Sanitary Authorities and
Local Boards as a thoroughly reliable and efficient
disinfectant.

I remain, Gentlemen,

Yours faithfully,

Certificate to Messrs. Morris 8[ Griffin, Wolverhampton.

I have pleasure in certifying this powder to be by
far the best that has ever been under my notice. It
contains 20 per cent, of real Phenol and Cresol,
popularly known as " Carbolic Acid " ; it -will go
twice or three times as far as much of the powder
before the public, and is one-fourth stronger than any
other make I know of. The powder is in a beauti-
fully pulverulent condition, and possesses all the
appreciated properties of a well-made Carbolic
Powder, in my opinion the best disinfectant powder
made. (Signed),

June 15, 1881. THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST. 49

Reports upon

"fatal gropranwnfa to parntanj "

The attention of the Profession and Trade is respectfully called to the following opinions regarding the
McK. and R. CAPSULE PILLS (of Formulas of the " British Pharmacopoeia " and other standard authorities)
expressed by eminent Chemists of Great Britain, who enjoy high reputation for the scrupulous and discrimi-
nating care which they are known to exercise in selecting drugs and preparations of unquestionable purity.

Messrs. ALLEN & HANBURYS, Pharmaceutical Chemists, Plough Court, Lombard

Street, E.C., write:—

"Possess real merit and mark a distinct advance in Pharmacy Afford a very elegant form for the

[administration of medicines In appearance, shape, and solubility they surpass any pills we have seen.

. . . We shall have pleasure in introducing them to our customers."

L. CALLAWAY, M.P.S., late General Apothecaries' Co., 133 Oxford Street, W., writes:—

"The introduction of these elegant productions begins a new era in the advancement of medicine and
pharmacy. These preparations are certain to gain favour with all progressive practitioners who desire to
describe remedies in an agreeable and reliable form.

"They are ovoid in shape, very small, compact, and beautiful in appearance. The most peculiar patients
even children) who reject ordinary coated pills will take these with pleasure. I feel perfect confidence in
•ecommending these preparations to the profession for unquestionable purity and reliability. They are
certainly more soluble than any other form of pills that has been devised."

Messrs. GODFREY & COOKE, Pharmaceutical Chemists, 30 Conduit Street, say:—

" We heartily commend these latest improvements in pharmacy to the confidence of practitioners. They
'ire highly appreciated by all physicians who have become familiar with them, for their high quality and the
:ase with which they may be administered to the most delicate patients.

"The McK. and R. Bi-sulphate (or soluble sulphate) of Quinia Pills are worthy of particular attention j
Ihey dissolve completely in the mouth within three minutes."

Messrs. ROBERTS & CO., Pharmaceutical Chemists, 76 New Bond Street, London,

and 23 Place Vendome, Paris, write :—

" We have perfect confidence in commending these new and decided improvements in pharmacy to the
profession, for purity and strict reliability ; they are the most elegant medium ever discovered for presenting
litter and nauseous drugs in a pleasing and palatable form.

" The covering of these Pills dissolves more readily than any other form of coating."

I HAS. SYMES, Ph.D., of the Firm of Messrs. Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists,

Liverpool, writes :—

I "These preparations are very elegant in appearance, and may be easily taken by patients.
I " The capsule so completely envelopes the drug that the most nauseous medicine is rendered perfectly
jjsteless, and is preserved in an active condition for a very long period of time. The ready and complete
lubility of the covering in the stomach is such that the action of the medicine is in no way impeded.
The greatest improvement in pills that has been introduced."

These emphatic endorsements clearly indicate the excellent favour with which these " Latest Improve-
ents in Pharmacy" have been received by progressive Chemists who actually take an interest in, and
courage, advancement in pharmacy. (We beg to state that each of these Firms have now in stock, and
t prepared to supply, every Pill upon the McK. and R. List.)

PUBLISHER'S NOTICE.

N July 15, and not again this year, we shall be able to
rculate price-lists, or prospectuses generally, with The
hemist and Druggist. We can guarantee a first-class
>me and foreign circulation of 10,000 copies to druggists
delusively, and each copy to a separate firm.
Our circulation now regularly includes every member of
:e Pharmaceutical Societies of Victoria and New South
rales.

About 50 members of the Chemists' Trade Association
rmed the annual meeting of the society. Nothing but
isf action with the proceedings of the Executive Corn-
ttee was expressed, and the former officers of the Associa-
n were re-elected, while the change on the Executive
mmittee consisted in the election of Messrs. H. Barnaby
ochester), H. Davis (Leamington), R. McAdam (Glas-
w), A. H. Mason (Liverpool), and G. Pasmore (Exeter),

in the stead of Messrs. T. Davison (Glasgow), G. Delve3
(Exeter), T. S. Johnson (Malvern), J. Owen (London), and
J. Phillips (Wigan).

The Pharmaceutical Society's annual meeting was rather
largely attended, and the style of criticism which has of late
years become popular was freely indulged in. One gentle-
man wanted to ask the Government to pay for the trial in
the House of Lords, in which the Society were defeated, on
the ground that they had only been carrying out an Act of
Parliament, and he advised a general strike of chemists
until the Legislature shall submit to their terms. Another
speaker wondered why refreshments should be supplied to
the Council at the expense of the Society generally. It is
true there were some better criticisms than these, but it will
be judged from such specimens that the scale of intelligence,
taste, and humour in the Society runs down to a very low
point.

Messrs. M. Carteighe and Walter Hills were the new
members of the Pharmaceutical Council elected in the place
of Messrs. T. H. Hills and Sandford, who retired. Messrs.
Spink and Wills were the unsuccessful candidates. All the
former members of Council who offered themselves for re-
election were accepted.

We have several times advocated the publication of some
statement of their views by candidates for the Pharma-
ceutical Council. Only one such manifesto was published
this year, but certainly in no previous year has the advantage
been so apparent. Mr. Spink's circular, with its curiously-
constructed paragraphs, decided many members prejudiced
in favour of lucid English, at least not to vote for him.

The Pharmacy Exhibition held at Bloomsbury Square last
month was inferior to its predecessors, both in the number,
the novelty, and the interest of the objects exhibited. It
was visited by a large number of chemists, who examined
with great attention the goods displayed.

The new Society of Chemical Industry announces a two
days' session and a dinner in London on the 28th and 29th
of this month. Important papers by Dr. Siemens, Professor
Graham, Mr. Mactear, and others, are announced.

On page 250 we print a practical article by Mr. Gilmour,
of Edinburgh, giving formulae for syrup and pills of proto-^
chloride of iron, and comments on the keeping properties of
preparations of this chemical.

A great discovery in electrical science has been announced
during the month. A " secondary battery " has been con-
structed by a Frenchman, and has been tested for three
weeks by Sir W. Thomson, who finds that at least for that
period it does not appreciably lose its power. He thinks
that the problem of using electricity as a source of light,
heat, and power generally is solved.

Last month Mr. Richard Ludlow Bruges, of Melksham,
Wiltshire, a Justice of the Peace for the county, was charged
at a London police court with having written a defamatory
libel concerning the Countess of Lonsdale. The prisoner
pleaded that he had written the libel while under the influ-
ence of zoedone, and evidence was given by a friend of
his, a Member of Parliament, that he drank seven or eight
quarts of that seductive fluid daily. If an anti-zoedonic
society does not result from this revelation it will be hard
on alcohol. Crime has not often been so directly brought
home to a beverage. And possibly we do not know the
worst. If eight quarts of zoedone will produce a libel,
perhaps a few more would yield a burglary. We still want
a liquor of guaranteed moral character.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1881.

Cbcmtsis antr druggists' ®xutn
%^atmtmn of dteat liritiiut

THE annual meetings of this Association were held on
May 17 last at the Inns of Court Hotel. The first part
of the business was the meeting of the General Committee.
Mr. Thomas Barclay (President) occupied the chair.

The report of the Executive Committee, which had been
circulated, was taken as read. It narrated that in July last
the Association had defended in a test case at Stockport, in
which a chemist was charged with having sold adulterated
spirits of nitre. The Bench dismissed the case and allowed
10/. costs. The Executive Committee regards the decision
as " of great importance to the trade, the line of defence
being that spirits of nitre made according to other
formularies than that of the British Pharmacopoeia may
legally be sold if of good quality." This was the only case
under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act which the Association
had been called upon to defend during the year, and the
Committee congratulated the trade on the significant fact
that prosecutions against chemists and druggists for the
sale of adulterated drugs are becoming year by year more
rare. It would be within the recollection of the members
that before the Association came into existence such pro-
secutions were of very frequent occurrence.

In regard to the Weights and Measures Act, they had
defended three cases. In the first, Mr. Wilkinson, of
Lambeth, was fined 17*. for having 17 inaccurate apothe-
caries' weights. This case had been taken up as the first of
its kind, and, in consequence of the action of the President
of the Association, the President of the Board of Trade had
caused a circular to be issued to inspectors, recommending
them to give notice to chemists and druggists when they were
prepared to test apothecaries' weights and measures. The
Associatic." had successfully defended a case under the Act
at Ledbury; and also in the recent case against Mr. Whittle.

The Committee had considered the Pharmacy Bill drafted
by the Pharmaceutical Council, and had agreed to its
clauses, and expressed a desire to co-operate with the
Council, with a view of carrying the Bill into law.

The new Medical Bill had been watched, and a memorial
had been submitted to the Home Secretary on the subject
of jury service.

A dispute between two members had been settled by the
arbitration of the Secretary.

A grocer at Winchester had been prosecuted by the Associa-
tion for infringing the Pharmacy Act, and had been fined.

The Committee sympathetically recorded the death of
their esteemed colleague, Mr. John Abraham, of Liverpool.

Finally the report stated that the number of subscribers
was now 4,345, and that the donations daring the year had
reached 71/. lCs. 6d., both figures showing a slight decrease.
This might be accounted for in a measure by the continued
depression in trade, and it was also stated that in February
the names of all members whose subscriptions were more
than two years in arrear were erased from the register.
The following was the financial statement : —

Mr. Duerant moved that the report be adopted.
The motion having been seconded by Mr. Mason,
The President said that they would be glad to hear any

criticisms or suggestions upon the report while it was before

them.

Mr. Paterson (Aberdeen) observed that the Association
had approved of the new Pharmacy Bill. He thought that
in this they had gone rather too far. He urged that a
candidate who had passed part of the examination should be
allowed to pass in the subjects he had failed in at another
time, and not be forced to go through the whole examina-
tion again. The Association ought to press the Pharmaceu-
tical Council to do more for pharmaceutical education in
the provinces than they had done. Their apprentices in
Scotland had no means of scientific education. Some time
ago, at Aberdeen, they had asked for assistance, and had
been offered a loan of 10/. for apparatus for three years,
with the condition that they should replace all that was
broken in that time. They did not think that offer very
handsome, and had since set up a school for themselves, but
they found a good many difficulties. The Society ought to
help in education, and ought to send examiners to towns
where there were laboratories in order to save young men the
expense of going to London or Edinburgh. He also com-
mented unfavourably on the clause which would prevent
widows from carrying on business. He moved as an amend-
ment that any amendment on the Pharmacy Act should
contain some clause to enable apprentices to get a knowledge
of their profession and pass the examinations.

Mr. R. Hampson (London) thought that it appeared from
the remarks of the gentleman who had just spoken that the
chemists of Aberdeen did not understand the position. He
drew attention to the fact that although the Pharmaceutical
Council, whenever practicable, responded to applications for
assistance, at the same time they were obliged to be very
careful to see that the money spent was used in such a
manner that sound, solid education should be obtained as
an equivalent, and that was why sums of 10/., 30/., and 40/.
were not sent broadcast over the country. He also expressed
astonishment at Scotland, with its universities and ad- '
mirable system of schools, requiring any help. With regard
to the vexed question of widows, he thought that in the
majority of cases they found it a mistake to try to carry on
business through a qualified assistant, as their business
generally would not pay for one.

June T5, 1881.]

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

235

Mr. H. H. Pollard (Ryde) was of opinion that it should
not go forth that a chemist was turned out piecemeal. He
ought to be able to pass the whole of his examination when-
ever called upon, and not be crammed for it a little at a
time.

Mr. Delves (Exeter) said that, as the amendment had
not been seconded, the discussion was out of order.

The President said that although the motion had not
been seconded, still the report was before them, and they
were entitled to speak on it.

Mr. Symes (Liverpool) also opposed the views expressed
by Mr. Paterson.

Mr. Mackenzie (Edinburgh) had long urged that there
should be some alteration in the system of examination
followed by the Pharmaceutical Society. Mr. Williams had
admitted, in reply to his questions a few years ago, that
candidates were told sometimes wherein they had failed,
but sometimes they were not told. There was the case of
Sir Robert Christison, who, when he went in first for his
examination in Edinburgh, failed in materia medica.

Mr. Harrison (Sunderland) supposed that when Sir R.
Christison went in again he had to go through all the
examination, but Mr. Mackenzie said such would not be the
case in Scotland. Mr. Harrison went on to argue that if
they were going to ask Parliament for further powers, it
was not the time to make the examinations more simple.

The President said they had discussed this Pharmacy
Bill a good deal, but they could not see their way to do any-
thing better than to adopt the proposed provisions. He had
hoped to hear some discussion as to the financial position of
the Association, which showed a deficit of some 200Z.

Mr. Urwick complimented the Executive Committee on
the economy with which they had done much important
work.

The report was then adopted without a division, as no one
seconded Mr. Paterson 's amendment.

The Committee next proceeded to the selection of names
of persons to be recommended to the general meeting as an
Executive Committee. Thirty-five names were submitted
as el gible, and from these the following 21 were selected by
ballot : — ■

F. Andrews, London.
C. J. Arblaster, Birmingham.
T. Barclay, Birmingham.
H. Barnaby, Rochester.
C. B. Bell, Hull.
W. J. Churchill, Birmingham.
F. A. Cole, Colchester.
W. G-. Cross, Shrewsbury.
H. Davis, Leamington.
R. Hampson, London.
J. Harrison, Sunderland.

The Scottish branch had selected the following as their
epresentatives on the Executive Committee : —

Charles Kerr, Dundee.
Robert McAdam, Glasgow.
James Mackenzie, Edinburgh.

Financial.

A lengthy conversation ensued as to the means of
Improving the financial position of the Association. Mr.
ervis (Sheffield) and Mr. Churchill (Birmingham) inti-
Aated a desire to see the subscription raised to 10,?., but this
lid not seem to meet with the approval of those gentlemen
?ho had had experience in canvassing for subscriptions.
Ir. Williams (Manchester) suggested that the wealthier
hemists might be asked to give 10,?. a year, while the rest
ontributed 5s. Mr. Ellinor (Sheffield), following up this
lea, framed a resolution to the effect that a reserve fund
hould be formed to be subscribed to in addition to the

gular subscription. Mr. Jervis (Sheffield) seconded the
roposal. Then the question arose as to the amount which
aould be fixed as the reserve fund. Mr. Maltby (Lincoln)
iggested 5,000^. Mr. Mackenzie (Edinburgh) thought
pch a sum much too large. They would not be likely to
:ach it, and, if they did, subscriptions would be checked,
s the time for the general meeting had arrived, it was re-
lived to submit the matter to the members.

General Meeting.

About 50 members were present. The President was in
le chair.

The report having been taken as read,

Mr. Wade moved its adoption. This year's report, he
said, was not of a very exciting character, and there
was not much to be discussed in it. It appeared
to be a thoroughly business-like statement of what they
had succeeded in doing throughout the year, and was very
satisfactory, when they considered the depressed- condition
of trade, the harassing, and the unjust competition that had
to be contended with. He considered that- the Society had
worked at a very small expense, and he was not. surprised at
the deficit of 200Z. They had done good service, which they
might be proud of, by defending the trade from the unjust
actions taken under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, and
the unjust requirements of the Weights and Measures Act.
He also thought that they had acted wisely in allying
themselves with the Pharmaceutical Society, and sinking
any difference of opinion that might exist for the sake of
avoiding antagonism. It was right to show that the Asso-
ciation must have a voice in any legislation affecting the
trade. With regard to service on juries, he remembered the
time — 18 years ago — when Mr. Ward Hunt introduced the
Bill then before the Legislature into Parliament, which pro-
vided that the whole of the druggists should be' exempted
from serving on juries; unfortunately jealousies 1 crept in,
and the exemption was to a section of the trade only. He
hoped no jealousy would prevent the exemption being-
granted to all the trade soon. Referring to the arbitration
case mentioned in the report, he would like to know if both
parties were satisfied, and intimated an opinion thai such
action hardly came within the proper .work of: the Associa-
tion. The report, however, was so satisfactory that he be- ,
lieved the meeting would heartily endorse it. •

Mr. Pollard (Ryde) seconded the adoption of the .report.
He said that, although they at Ryde had riot put' them-
selves greatly under obligation to the Association, still they
had sufficient wit to be grateful for favours to come; The
Association ought to be regarded as a mutual .assurance
society, and, while he did not consider that the Coimmittes
held a position C feet above contradiction, yet he thought
what they had done might be cordially endorsed.-: i.'n

The Secretary mentioned, in referenda to Mr.. Pollard's
remarks, that they had twice defended a neighbour' of his at
Romsey. . i .

Mr. E. C. Whittle (London) said that he. -was.tkfe unfor-
tunate chemist who had been prosecuted for glass measures
declared to be inaccurate. As they bore the Government
stamp he thought he was safe, but the magistrates thought
otherwise, and had to be taught wisdom by an appe.il. He
thought the wholesale houses ought to contribute more
towards the funds of the Association. ■ h .,■•<

The President said that the wholesale .houses had re-
sponded liberally when asked for anything; , :

Mr. G. Shepperly (Nottingham) noticed with pleasure at
what a small cost the lawsuits had been conducted; consider-
ing how important many of them were. Other societies spent
large sums in a rather fruitless way.

Mr. Long (London) said that the action of the Association
during the past year had been attended with a verj' pleasing-
success. He was of opinion that as the law said no one but
a qualified chemist should act as a chemist the sale of
medicines should be exclusively confined to chemists.

Mr. F. Andrews (London), in reply to Mr. Wade's remarks
about jury service, said that when, 18 years ago, it was in-
tended to exempt chemists and druggists from serving on
juries it was found imposssible to define what a chemist and
druggist really was. By the register which now existed this
could be exactly ascertained. He certainly thought that a
pharmaceutical chemist had no more right to exemption
than a chemist and druggist.

Mr. W. Churchill (Birmingham) said that the Committee
in their arbitration had been successful, and had given
satisfaction to both parties concerned. The offending party
paid, he believed, a small fine, and got off much more
cheaply than if he had gone to law.

Mr. Harrison (Sunderland) said that the Committee did
not wish to obtrude themselves upon an}' one, but where
both parties were desirous of their mediation he did not
think that there could be a better way of settling disputes. .

The report was then adopted unanimously.

The Executive Committee (as given) were then elected.

The President said that Mr. Ellinor had proposed at the

236

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

(June IS, 1881.

meeting of the General Committee a scheme of a reserve
fund, which had been seconded by Mr. Jervis. They had
not had time to discuss it thoroughly, and he hoped it would
now be brought before this meeting.

Mr. Ellinor said that what he proposed was that a
reserve fund be formed in connection with the Association,
and that the amount be 5,000/., or such other sum as might
be thought proper, to be obtained by annual subscriptions,
say of 10a\ or other smaller sums. He thought that such a
fund would tend more than anything else to make their
enemies fear them.

Mr. Maltby thought it was very desirable to have a
reserve fund. It would relieve the Executive from a
great deal of anxiety, as to taking up cases which they
were anxious to defend. No case had been yet refused, he
believed, on the ground of want of money, but some had
been taken up with considerable misgiving. Some thought
the scheme Utopian, but he was of opinion that there
should be very little difficulty about it. He thought two or
three years would be sufficient to raise the fund, which
would be of so much benefit and tend so much to strengthen
the hands of the Association. He had great pleasure in sup-
porting the resolution.

Mr. W. F. Haydon (Secretary) said that on May 14, 1878
it was resolved to raise a sum of 2,000/. to further the
interests and protect chemists and druggists.

Mr. Mackenzie asked how much of that was invested.

Mr. W. F. Haydon said there was only 800/. invested.

The President, in answer to a further question from Mr.
Mackenzie, said that the total sum collected of the 2,000/.
■was 1,640/.

Mr. Mackenzie said that he would move as an amend-
ment that they complete their former fund of 2,000/. before
beginning another. He thought that the necessity for
money produced money ; they never had been in want of
money ; they had always had a response equal to the
demand, and they had 800/. at their backs. It was a very
nice thing to have a reserve fund, but it had often been
found that the fact of having one had taken the life out of
a society, while being dependent on yearly subscriptions
induced activity. He thought to attempt a thing so gigantic
as a fund of 5,000/., while members found a yearly sub-
scription of 5s. hard, rather absurd. When he put his hand
to a work he liked to carry it through.

Mr. Urwick seconded that amendment. He thought
that if they did succeed in raising 5,000/. they would
damage the Society by lessening the interest taken in it by
subscribers, and it was that interest that enabled them to do
work when required.

Mr. Harrison supported the amendment of.Mr. Mackenzie,
ur,d thought they should finish the project undertaken some
years ago. It appeared to him that whenever an emergency
arose sums were found to meet it. He also thought that
by providing a reserve fund they would lose their power over
their Executive.

Mr. Mason, Liverpool, said that though he supported Mr.
Mackenzie he would rather that no mention was made of
any particular sum. He thought they might induce members
ito subscribe to the reserve fund by refusing to allow them
the benefits of the Association in default.

Mr. Whittle (London) thought it was a very wise thing
to have a reserve fund. They had had only small cases up
to that, but they might have heavy ones ; his advice was to
name no particular sum, but to get as much as they could.
He did not think they would get too much.

Mr. Ii. Hampson, (London) said that by mentioning a large
sum they were likely to get more than by mentioning a
smaller one. Once before, in that very room, he had re-
marked that every trade had an association to protect its
interests, and he was sure that even the humblest of them
had a larger sum at their bankers than they had. He thought
with a fair amount of energy they ought to raise a sum suf-
ficient to establish the Association on a satisfactory basis.

After some further discussion the President suggested
that the amendment might request the Executive to take
steps towards raising and maintaining a reserve fund of
2,000/. The balance-sheet showed that they were not living
within their income, but continually had to encroach upon
their capital. If they could raise 2,000/. and keep that sum
intact they would have all they needed.

This suggostion was ultimately acceded to.

The Election of Officers

was then taken, and resulted as follows : —

Mr. Thomas Barclay, President.

Mr. Robert Hampson, Vice-President.

Mr. William Southall, Treasurer.

Mr. T. W. Holds worth, Honorary Secretary.

The President, Vice-President, and Honorary Secretary
having ackowledged the election, a resolution was passed, on
the motion of Mr. Kerr, Dundee, seconded by Mr. Wade,
authorising the Executive Committee to take steps to place
the claims of chemists and druggists before the lioyal Com-
mission on Medical Legislation.

The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the
Executive Committee and officers for the work they had
done during the past year, moved by Mr. Harrison and
carried unanimously.

THE ANNUAL MEETING. 5

ON May 18 the Pharmaceutical Society celebrated its
fortieth anniversary. There were about 150 members
present.

The President (Mr. T. Greenish) briefly commented on
the subjects touched upon in the report. The report was
taken as read.

It commented on the funds, showing the exceptional
expenses (legal, " Progress of Pharmacy," index to journal,
&c.) referred to the library, the museum, papers for the
evening meetings, the House of Lords' decision and the new
Tharmacy Bill, the forthcoming International Pharmaceutical
Congress, the "Hanbury "gold medal, which has been awarded
to Professor Fliickiger, the Benevolent Fund, for which
subscriptions and donations show a falling-off, and the
deaths of Messrs. Baildon and Mackay, of Edinburgh, and
Mr. Abraham, of Liverpool. The financial statement was as

The Benevolent Fund account showed an income of
551Z. 5s. from dividends, 41Z. 7s. from donation*, and
1.184Z. Us. lOd. from subscriptions. The sum of 9S0Z. had
been paid to 31 annuitants, including two now deceased.
Fifty-seven casual grants, amounting in all to G37/. 14.$., had
been made.

The amounts invested are 23,500Z. to the credit of the
Society, and 21,050Z. to the credit of the Benevolent Fund.

Mr. Mbe moved, and Mr. J. B. Mackey seconded, the
adoption of the report. Mr. Smith (Torquay) opened
the criticism on it, though he stated that he did not
regard the Council as responsible for its disappointing
character. He first attacked the Journal postage item, and
asked if they could not have a supplementary journal
account. They were told, as an inducemeut to advertise,
that 7,000 copies were circulated weekly, but less than 6,000
persons were entitled to receive it. Was there no asset for
the balance ? He thought some of the postage of these
journals might be saved. For instance, three copies came
to his establishment, and only one of the three was read.
Then he came to the School of Pharmacy, which they endowed
with some 350 '. a year, charged no rent, and, he supposed,
provided gas and water free. Ought they not to be told how
many students had been educated there during the past year,
and how many had passed into the profession thro ugh t he M inor
and Major examinations ? It was hardly pleasant to think
they were subsidising an institution for training analytical
chemists, medical men, and so forth. Then he thought the
Council ought to do something for provincial education,
whether provincial associations made application or not.
Lastly, he was glad to sec a movement towards an improve-
ment in the education system. The Minor examination, he
considered, ought to qualify a man for assistantship only,
and the Major be the test applied to men before they went
into business.

Mr. Urwick appeared this year as the apologist of the
Council. The Journal account had often been explained,
and ought to be understood by this time. The expenses
had been heavy, but the Council had been bound to fight
the store question, and having eaten their loaf they could
not expect still to have it. He had found the Council very
attentive to cases of infringing the Pharmacy Act that had
been brought before them, and he believed grocers were
now more careful how they went into the dispensing business.
Mr. Urwick concluded by expressing his regret at the loss
to the Council of Messrs. Sandford and Hills by resignation
and of Mr. Mackay by death.

Mr. Bbown, of Greenwich, expressed a desire to have
more details about the Journal, and then Mr. Mackenzie,
of Edinburgh, repeated the criticisms which he has
frequently made as to the alleged neglect of provincial
pharmaceutical education. From that he went on to discuss
the Pharmacy Bill, which he thought was almost too direct
shooting against the enemies of the trade. He thought
that no one should be a manager of a business unless
properly qualified, and that the Bill should expressly pro-
hibit unqualified persons being partners in chemists'
businesses. Doctors, too, he urged, ought to elect whether
they would be doctors or druggists, and they, as well as
pharmacists, should be compelled to leave their establish-
ments in charge of qualified men. The Society, he thought,
paid too dearly for their general law work, and he also re-
marked on the rising nature of the item for salaries, which
amounted to 7031. in 1879, 770Z. in 1880, and now had
reached 8747.

Mr. Fitch advocated a clause in the new Pharmacy Bill
to compel the appointment of a qualified assistant to manage
branch businesses. They would never get Parliament to
allow them to have as many branch businesses as they
pleased managed by unqualified assistants, and stop stores
from carrying on the business with qualified assistants.
There ought to be, he thought, an inspector engaged by the
Council to look after breaches of the Pharmacy Act. Then he
alluded to a certain store in which he was sorry to say a mem-
ber of the Peerage was interested, and which he afterwards
explained was the Columbia Market Store, which published
a price-list containing remarks as to druggists' profits, and
offering, among other things, Battle's vermin-killer 3d.
packets for 2\d. He claimed that druggists should have the
exclusive right to deal in drugs and physic, and he moved a
resolution to the effect that an organised effort to press

238

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1881.

this view upon Parliament should be made by the
Society.

Mr. Long seconded the motion, but Mr. Hampson having
pointed out that it was not in order while another motion
was before the meeting, Mr. Fitch withdrew it. Mr. Long
had his say, however, which was to the effect that the
Government ought to pay for the House of Lords trial, as
the Society, in prosecuting, was only carrying out an Act of
Parliament. He was still of opinion that the law had been
interpreted inaccurately, and he suggested holding mass
meetings, and shutting up their shops until they could get
such an Act passed as was required.

Mr. Howard Hall criticised the expenses of examina-
tion, and Mr. Whittle narrated his experience under the
Weights and Measures Act.

Mr. Wells followed with a varied and lengthy indict-
ment. The one gleam of satisfaction which he seemed to
have gathered from the report consisted in the fact that
fewer candidates for the Preliminary examination were
coming forward. That, he thought, was a subject for con-
gratulation. Then he urged that the meetings of the
Society ought to be held half-yearly, so as not to leave the
Council irresponsible for 12 months, as at present. Next,
he objected to the charges for refreshments to the Council
and examiners, but his observations on this head did not
coincide with the taste of the meeting. After supporting
Mr. Smith's request for supplementary statements regarding
the Journal and the school, he went on to object to the in-
sertion of advertisements in the former for assistants for
stores. He next wanted to know whether it was legal for
firms to trade as chemists under names which did not repre-
sent the actual owners of the business, instancing especially
Godfrey & Cooke. If that was an invasion of the Act why
did not the Council fulfil their duty in respect to it ?
Homoeopathic chemists, too, he said, though not registered,
sold many scheduled poisons, and he thought the Council
had been remiss in regard to them. Then he remarked on
the "slap in the face " which the Council had administered
to the trade by electing to their body as a representative a
gentleman not a candidate at the last election (Mr. Butt),
and setting aside another (Mr. Spink), who had received the
highest number of votes among the unsuccessful candidates.
Lastly, he animadverted, amid rather warm cheers, to the
use made by certain professors of the School of Pharmacy of
their title as such in connection with puffs of proprietary pre-
parations. A certain Royal Universal Cooked Food — which
was evidently lentils — was now being advertised with the
recommendation of Professor Attfield, and another learned
professor's name was connected with a certain wine.

Mr. Schacht wished to reply to some of the comments
made about grants to provincial associations. The absence
of such items from the balance-sheet was due rather to the
apathy of the provinces than of the Council. He might sa}',
however, on behalf of the Association with which he was
Connected, that the Counsil had given valuable aid which
was not mentioned to that and other associations, in the
form of museum specimens, which had a guarantee of value
as specimens which money could not buy.

The President also briefly replied to a few of the points
raised. He mentioned the special expenses which had been
incurred, and, in regard to the cost of the appeal case, he said
they had been urged to try the case and they had done so.
They had bought a legal decision at its usual price. He could
not say, however, that the law which they had got for their
money was of the nature and quality demanded by the pur-
chaser. If the members and associates would fetch their
Journals from the office they would save the cost of
postage.

The report was then adopted.

The Council were beginning to flatter themselves that
their troubles were over, when Mr. Carteighe rose to ask
for some explanation about the memorial tablets, which, it
appeared, were about to be erected in the Society's house.
Was it too late to ask the Council to reconsider the matter 1
Mr. Ekin and Mr. Urwick also expressed objection to
the tablets.

Then a member commenced a criticism on the dinner
tickets from a temperance point of view, objecting to the
charge being inclusive of wine. The President, however,
ruled that that subject did not come within the business of
the meeting. As to the tablets, he said, they had been

ordered, and would be put up ; and, for his part, he could
see no objection to them.

Mr. Carteighe, however, let it appear that his objection
was too solemn to be thus whiffed away, and he, therefore,
moved a resolution instructing the incoming Council to
rescind the previous resolution to erect them.

Mr. Frazer, who had protested against tablets in the
Council, seconded the motion.

After some discussion, Mr. Carteighe agreed to limit his
objection to the tablet recording gifts to the Benevolent
Fund.

The President said the matter had been before the trade
for months, and it was strange that no word of objection
had been uttered. There ought to have been a notice of
such a discussion.

Mr. Wells objected to the assumption that they were not
competent to discuss questions concerning the Society at
the annual meeting. That was their purpose in coming
together.

The Solicitor intervened, calling attention to a bye-law,
according to which, he said, it was not competent for the

meeting to discuss other subjects than those which he

begged pardon, the bye-law he was reading referred to
special meetings only. Several members of the Council
defended the tablet in a rather half-hearted manner, each
disclaiming any special interest in it. Mr. Bottle moved
an amendment to Mr. Carteighe's motion, the object of
which was to retain the tablet, but to place it in a less
prominent position than in the hall ; but this suggestion
of a compromise was not persevered in. Ultimately a show
of hands was taken, when the majority voted for the resolu-
tion.

A vote of thanks to the President was moved by Mr.
Stacey, seconded by Mr. Urwick, and carried.

An adjourned meeting was held on May 20, to receive
the report of the scrutineers and declare the result of the
election of Council. Mr. Hopkin, chairman of the scruti-
neers, handed in the following report': —

The Chairman said it was a fact to be regretted that at
a time when subjects of great interest to pharmacists were
under discussion less than one-half of the voting-papers
issued had been returned. He thought it showed great
apathy on the part of many persons entitled to vote.

Auditors.

There being only the requisite number of candidates
(five) for the office of auditors, the Chairman declared the
following duly elected for the ensuing 12 month3 : —

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

239

Ihe Annual Dinner of the Pharmaceutical Society.
The tenth annual dinner of the Pharmaceutical Society was
held on the evening of May 17 at Willis's rooms. The company
present numbered but little more than 100, and presented
the thinnest attendance since the dinner has been instituted.
It is to be noted, too, that only a small proportion of those
present were chemists and druggists actually in business as
such. The staff at Bloomsbury Square, scientific and
medical guests, representatives of the who lesale houses, and
some half-dozen newspaper reporters made up fully two-
thirds of the company. A good many members of the
Society, visiting London during the week, commented on the
costliness of the entertainment which, as they understood,
was at first designed to give an opportunity of social union
for the scattered members of the trade.

The chair was occupied by the President of the Society,
Mr. T. Greenish, and the more distinguished guests were
Professor Abel, C.B., F.R.S., President of the Institute of
Chemistry; Dr. Broadbent, President of the Medical
Society of London ; the Master of the Society of Apothe-
caries ; Mr. Chaney, of the Board of Trade ; Mr. Wyndham
Cottle, Mr. Anderson Critchett, Mr. Dowse, Mr. Thiselton

Dr. Gilbert Smith, and Mr. Sowerby.

The toasts given during the evening were the following :
" — " Her Majesty the Queen," and " His Eoyal Highness the
Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, and the rest of the
Royal Family," both proposed by the President ; "Science,"
proposed by the Vice-President (Mr. G. F. Schacht), and
responded to by Dr. Richardson, F.R.S. According to the
programme, this toast was to have been acknowledged by
Messrs. William Spottiswoode, LL D. (President of the
Royal Society), and James Abernethy, F.R.S.E. (Pre-
sident of the Institution of Civil Engineers), but neither
of those gentlemen appeared at the dinner- table. Dr.
Richardson tilled the vacancy with an eloquent
speech, prepared at about five minutes' notice. "The
IMedical Profession " was proposed by the President, and
replied to by Dr. Broadbent (President of the Medical
iSociety). Professor Abel next proposed " The Prosperity of
"the Pharmaceutical Society." Speaking on behalf of the
Institute of Chemistry, he acknowledged the cordial manner
in which the Society had met them in regard to the title of
' chemist," and he complimented the Society on the
thoroughness with which they had always striven to
jounteract by practical examinations the assumption of
sound acquirements which men of brains could so rapidly
pick up. The other scientific societies which he, with
diffidence, represented, and which numbered so many
uembers of the Pharmaceutical Society among them, desired
m all occasions to honour and respect the work of the
Pharmaceutical Society.

The President, in replying, said that 40 years ago phar-
nacy could hardly be said to exist in this country at all.
"low it would compare favourably with that of other
Countries, where it had been cultivated as an art for cen-
uries The International Pharmaceutical Congress, to be
teld in London this year, would afford an opportunity of
omparing English and foreign pharmacy. He also ex-
iressed gratification at the honourable position which phar-

[aacy held in the esteem of the medical profession.
Lastly, Mr. Sandford proposed " Our Guests," to which
p. Thiselton Dyer, of Kew Gardens, responded, in the
ourse of his remarks paying high compliments to the work
jf the Society, and especially to its Journal,
i Some singing by professional artistes was interjected
ong the speeches, which came to an end about 10.30 p.m.
The Conversazione
the South Kensington Museum on May 18 was attended
2,456 ladies and gentlemen, and was generally reported
as successful and enjoyable. The range of entertain-
ment provided was exactly similar to that which has
ivariably been offered.

Cbe l^armaccuiinil (Exhibition.

THE collection of pharmaceutical apparatus, drugs, chemi-
cals, and accessories of the trade, which was open for
inspection during the three days of the pharmaceutical
meetings, attracted a considerable crowd of chemists, who
seemed generally interested. The exhibitors were fewer
than last year, and many of those who were prominent last
time were absent on this occasion. This fact does not seem
to indicate that the first exhibition produced any very
brilliant commercial results. Probably, however, a truer
reason for the want of interest manifested by the wholesale
houses was the committeeism and officialism which clogged
the arrangements. Manufacturers were carefully made to
understand that their products would have to be approved
by the Pharmaceutical Council, or at least by a committee
thereof, and the impression was fostered if not absolutely
inculcated, that nothing except scientific novelties of the
utterly too-too class would be welcome. So it came to pass
that by the date when it had been decreed that applications
for space were to end the committee found themselves with
scarcely a dozen exhibits promised. No one will suppose
that the wholesale trade of this country are so torpid as
that fact would suggest. Had the exhibition been got up
in the usual way, space being offered at a price to whomso-
ever would buy it, to exhibit what he might think would
pay him to show, the rooms would have been filled half-a-
dozen times over. We do not think that such a course ought
to have been adopted. The Pharmaceutical Society is losing
money, it is true, but it has not yet reached the poverty line
which would justify such a use of its premises. We merely
state the fact to show that exhibitions of high moral pur-
pose, such as this one was intended to be, are somewhat
above the heads of the average pharmacist of this genera-
tion. They do not want to " live up to " the standard which
the Council would fain raise, and if they did wholesale
houses have other objects than the cultivation of the
aesthetic tastes of the extreme minority.

The production of an absolutely uninteresting collection
such as the President would not have been ashamed to show to
one of his German friends having been found impracticable,
" the conditions were somewhat relaxed," and the necessary
complement of exhibitors was brought in.

Aerated Drinks

Were at first to be refused with something approach-
ing scorn, but when the ban was removed they rushed
in with their own impetuosity, and it is a melancholy fact
that the room to which they were limited was the most
popular of all. Each exhibitor was well provided with
stock and with champagne glasses, and the patient visitor
had the opportunity of so soaking himself with phosphorus
that if the " London Physician " who groans in the
Standard every few weeks about the consumption of such
beverages had been on hand he would have assuredly pre-
dicted a general conflagration from spontaneous combus-
tion. Zoedone, in the majesty of its unquestioned monarchy
among the beverages, was the least demonstrative of any of
them, but its troublesome rival, Hedozone, was pushed
energetically by Mr. Packham and his friends. A repre-
sentative of Messrs. Evans, Lescher & Webb was particularly
eloquent on the charms of Vin Sante. He had a peculiar
advantage in being able to minister to any taste by com-
bining with Vin Sante one or other of the delicious fruit
flavourings and cordials made with the Montserrat lime-
juice. Next to these Messrs. Idris & Co.'s products were
extensively represented. Their sparkling Phosphade was
the most prominent of their liquors, but the sparkling
Apple Wine, which they offered on draught, also at-
tracted a host of admirers. This firm is particularly
ingenious in the invention of new beverages, as
instances of which, shown at this exhibition, may
be named " Sikkan," a beverage containing all the
nutritive constituents of oatmeal, sparkling orange and
orange quinine wine, sparkling peptade, sparkling lupu-
lade, aerated citrate of caffeine, aerated salicylate of lithia,
aerated fluid magnesia, and aerated lime-water in syphons,

Iand many other drinks. .The Chemists' Aerated Water Com-
pany (Limited), which is gradually growing in strength,
also made a good impression with sparkling "Rubine"

and sparkling " Limine." Tbe visitors, generally, were con-
tent to take on trust the statements as to the medicinal
virtues of the Harrogate, Kissengen, and sulphur waters
which the company also exploit. Mr. Swenden, of Dar-
lington, sent samples of his " Neurotone," and the Quinada
Company sent their specialty, which is recommended for its
freedom from iron and phosphorus, as well as from alcohol.

Apparatus and Sundries.

The Weights and Measures Act is responsible for the chief
feature of the exhibition of apparatus. Scales, balances,
weighing machines, weights and measures were very con-
spicuous, and Messrs. De Grave, Short & Co. showed a very
extensive series. Gorham's patent tubular balance ex-
hibited by Mr. Gorham, M.R.C.S , of Tunbridge, was de-
scribed and figured in our April issue. The principle is the
same as that of the steelyard, but the lever is lengthened,
not by moving a weight further from the fulcrum, but by
drawing out the telescopic centre of the lever-arm. The
instrument shown was neatly made, with brass pan and vul-
canite beam, and was of course accurately adjusted.

Messrs. Harvey, Shepherd & Co. showed angular brass
weights — that is, weights made of bits of wire bent to in-
dicate the number of grains they represent — a triangle
for three, a square for four grains, and so on. This plan had
long been adopted for platinum weights used by analytical
chemists. The weights are easier to handle than the ordinary
pieces of sheet metal. Mr. W. Stone showed balances and
weights, and a neat circular spirit-level for adjusting the
scales.

The revolving-fronted shop-counter, exhibited by Messrs,
S. Maw, Son & Thompson, and which had caused the
Committee so much anxiety on account of its size, was a fine
piece of workmanship. The bent-glass fronts can be raised
by means of a handle by the seller at the back of the
counter, an arrangement which adds both to their safety and
Convenience.

Mr. W. H. Symons showed a new case for dispensing
scales, intended, like the cases of chemical balances, to pro-
tect the scales from dust and vapours. Besides the movable
glass front, the right-hand side of the case was hinged, and
opened laterally to allow easier access to the scale-pan.
Both pans of the scales are supported on metal claws in-
stead of the silk cords generally used for the left pan, which
collect dust and attract moisture ; the pans were solid
silver, and the scales and weights were silver plated.

Microscopes, and optical appliances microscopical and
otherwise, were exhibited by Messrs. C. Baker & Co., Lajenne
& Perken, and Edmund Wheeler. The Ionic, Gothic,
Mediaeval, and Irish black oak frames of the barometers ex-
hibited by Messrs. Joseph Davis & Co. are doubtless intended
to remind observers that the pressure of the atmosphere
varied long before any attempt was made to measure it. As
modern fashions go, our eyes will doubtless soon be de-
lighted with Mediaeval locomotives and Gothic railway
carriages. But these vagaries are certainly popular at pre-
sent, and may help to make these barometers what the
maker intends, "a permanent attraction in pharmacies."

Thermometers for all purposes — clinical, bath, registering,
and so forth — were exhibited by J. Davis & Co., L. P.
Casella, Arnold & Sons, Bourne & Taylor, and Harvey,
Shepherd & Co. Messrs. Arnold's clinical thermometers
have the scale coloured red instead of black, which makes
the reading easier. Messrs. Harvey, Shepherd & Co. showed
a card of half-a-dozen Is. 6d. thermometers, which agreed
in their indications most remarkably. If thermometers had
been in common use, that Royal Stuart who spent much of
his life in the vain attempt to get two watches to go alike,
might have found quite as much excitement in endeavour-
ing to get two common thermometers to agree with one
another.

Gimingham's patent blow-pipe, exhibited byL. P. Casella,
is an ingenious tool for amateur or professional glass-
blowers. It is used with gas ; the jet can be rapidly changed
from a large roaring Bunsen flame to a small finely-pointed
cone. Gimingham's Sprengel air-pump, with five fall tubes,
fearfully and wonderfully made, is exhibited as one of the
products of this blow-pipe, and inspired us with profound
faith in its capabilities.

Messrs. J. Davis & Co. exhibited " the ABC water-testing
apparatus, containing sufficient solution for a thousand

separate and distinct tests, with instructions." If well
pushed, this is sure to sell among the better educated
classes, especially when sanitary questions agitate the muni-
cipal breast, but we are doubtful if it can be regarded as
much better than a scientific toy.

Sifting and mixing machines were shown by Messrs. P. H.
Bracher & Co., of Wincanton, and Joseph Baker & Son, of
Finsbury. In both some improvements were noticeable.
Mr. Bracher's larger machines are now worked by a fly-
wheel, and to the smaller ones a side outlet for the powdern
has been arranged. Messrs. Baker's new hoDper-machine
enables the mixing to be effected in a hopper, and then by
an adjustment transferred to the sifting apparatus.

American drug mills were exhibited by J. Baker & Son,
Geo. Burton, and Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. The last-
named firm exhibited the " Enterprise " tincture press,
operating on the marc of tincture of arnica flowers. The
flowers after the process were only slightly damp. They also
showed an ingenious little apparatus, called the " Burrough's
Inhaler," by which ammonium chloride gas may be inspired
from a double bottle containing ammonia and hydrochloric
acid respectively in its parts. The purpose of the apparatus
is to apply the gas to the throat and post-nasal cavity, which
is accomplished by expelling it through the nostrils.

A simple pill-coater, exhibited by Messrs. Bourne & Taylor

as the " Rotary," much resembled another shown by Messrs.
Harvey, Shepherd & Co. as Corties'. Cartner's pill-coater was
also exhibited by both of these firms, and it was claimed to
have become the property of the latter firm. Mr. Cartner
seems to have sold his rights in the property several times
over, though, we believe, he never completed the patent. The
apparatus was in use among American confectioners for
comfit-making some time before it made its appearance in
England. A fine pill-coating machine exhibited by Messrs.
Maw, Son Sc Thompson was a rather more complicated-
development of the rotary principle, on which, perhaps, all
coaters are made. A double motion, like that of the earth
round the sun and its own axis, overcomes the tendency of
the centrifugal force to fix the pills in one position when
the cup rotates rapidly, and ensures a uniform coating.

Cocking's pill machine, piper, and burnisher were again
to the front. The machine was the only one exhibited for
cutting and rounding pills in large quantities. Messrs. Maw
showed some handsome counter machines, one of them with
nickel-plated cutters. Proctor's pill-scoop,, shown by Bourne
& Taylor, is a simple and ingenious little help for counting
and boxing pills.

Digne & Co., of Marseilles, showed an apparatus for
enclosing powders in wafer envelopes.

Moulds for pessaries and suppositories were shown by
Messrs. Maw & Co.

Messrs. Bourne & Taylor showed a stopper-loosener — a
little block of boxwood pierced with oblong holes of sizes to
fit various stoppers. They also exhibited a measuring-
funnel, which should be popular with chemists who deal in
turpentine, oils, or naphtha. The measure is suspended on
an axle in the funnel ; when filled it is turned round on this
axle, still within the funnel, and pours out its contents with-
out a chance of spilling. It is made in various sizes.

Mr. Hutchings' " Champion " label-gummer, which we*
noticed last month, was worked by himself, and attracted
much attention.

The Silicated Carbon Filter Company showed the
"Ascension " filter we described and figured last month.
The Sanitary Appliance Company's "Indispensable" filter,
is attached to the water-tap, and delivers the water as fast
as the tap alone.

Bronchitis or croup kettles, food-warmers, and the like
were exhibited by Messrs. Maw & Co., Young & Postans
(who showed Allen's), and Arnold & Sons. Messrs. Maw

bad a beef-tea apparatus on the principle of Papin's
digester. Messrs. Young & Postans showed a 2s, " complete
kitchener" for tourists and travellers, which called up
memories of alfresco feasts in all sorts of odd places.

Mr. R. Reynolds exhibited a model of stirring apparatus,
worked by steam, and originally designed for use in making
extract of cinchona. The crank motion of the steam-engine

Is converted into backwards and forwards motion by means
of linkages, and the actual stirrers are half -moon shaped, so
as to agitate thoroughly the liquid at the bottom of the
■evaporating-pan.

Maw's glass apparatus for col-
lecting precipitates is a pretty
little instrument for quickly col-
lecting small portions of a pre-
cipitate. A cylindrical precipi-
tating glass is fitted with a little
cup, which slides easily in it. A
long glass rod is fixed like an
umbrella-handle to the centre
of the cup and a disc of glass
with a hole in the middle slips
along the rod. The cup is placed
at the bottom of the cylinder ;
the fluid, with the precipitate
in suspension, is poured in and
allowed to deposit. The precipi-
tate, or the greater part of if,
collects in the cup, which is
withdrawn by means of its
glass handle, the disc previously
dropped over it preventing loss
by the disturbance of the fluid.

Messrs. J. B. Shillcock & Son
showed their patent leech-vase
and safety poison-labels.

Mr. J. B. Corsan, of the London
Sand-blast Works, showed some
handsome advertising tablets and bottles engraved and
enamelled by the sand-blast. Messrs. H. Poths & Co. exhibited
bottles and jars labelled prettily and neatly with enamelled
Betters burnt in and on the surface. Descriptions of goods
like these are useless without coloured illustrations. The
goods of both firms are far more permanent, and in
some cases handsomer, than the ordinary black on gold paper
label.

Pond's Extract Company showed a simple enema with
vaginal dilator, which ensures the contact of the injection
with every part of the mucous membrane.

Messrs. Allen & Hanburys exhibited only a small vapouriser
for cresolene and other medicaments.

Messrs. Arnold & Son had a large show of surgical and
medical apparatus. The " Desideratum " knife and fork for
peisons with only one available hand we illustrated last
month. A human-hair-clipping instrument is a horse-
clipper in miniature, and cuts the hairs about an eighth of

cave on both sides, and perforated so that it can be
screwed to the section table. India-rubber bandages free
from sulphur were shown. They have proved remarkably
efficacious in the treatment of certain skin diseases.

Vaccination-shields were shown by Mr. William Cowan
and Messrs. Bourne & Taylor. Messrs. Arnold & Son showed
an " instantaneous vaccinator," in which touching a spring
produces at once two or three scarifications.

A simple improved feeding-bottle was shown by Dr. E. 0.
Day. Stopper, teat, and tube are made of rubber in one
piece, and, therefore, are easy to clean and hard to lose.
George Wells' improved feeder, another ingenious and
simple device, is illustrated in the accompanying block. The
metal cap fits over the ground neck, and the screw-top, A,

closes or loosens to any desired degree a valve which
regulates the flow of milk. Messrs. Maw, Son & Thompson
showed a full series of their feeders and the various
accessories lately introduced, such as their new teat-holder
and bottle-cord, which have been already noticed in these
columns.

Messrs. Bourne & Taylor showed a new adhesive plaster
which will adhere to bleeding wounds and will not harden.
A new patent funnel was shown for filtering volatile fluids,
with ground edge for receiving a glass cover and internal
air-tube. This firm also exhibited a variety of medical and
electrical appliances.

Messrs. Harvey, Shepherd & Co. showed some pretty
water-jugs of crackled glass, ornamented with butterflies
and flowers of coloured glass, in positions which no
butterfly or flower in its senses ever assumed. Their ink
pills are a convenient invention ; on dissolving them in
water ink ready for use is obtained. Mather's porous
plasters of various kinds were a feature of this display.

Jahncke's handsome metallic boxes attracted much atten-
tion.

Martindale's portable and poor man's inhalers are simple
and practical devices.

Price's Patent Candle Company showed a handsome case
of their products, which could be looked at, not examined.
Coco oleine, recommended many years ago for consumption :
hard acid, from shea butter and from the greasa recovered
from wool during washing were noticeable here. A fine
series of photographs of the microscopical appearancfs of
mixtures of palmitic and stearic acids was shown, the series
being complete in steps of 1 per cent, from puie palmitic
acid to 41 palmitic with 59 stearic acid.

Dr. Symes, who bad much interested himself in this exhi-
bition, had brought together the following : —

Korting's Water-jet Vacuum-pump: A simple apparatus
for producing an almost perfect vacuum, by means of a jet of
water issuing from an opening £ inch diameter, with such
velocity as to draw the surrounding air with it through the
waste-pipe. 2. Royle's Patent Self-filtering Filter (for
filtering from the water-pipe) : The ingenious part of the
appliance is the self-fitting arrangement, whereby it can be
instantly adapted to almost any water-tap ; the indiarubber
collar being operated on by the water pressure, prevents the
possibility of its removal whilst the flow continues. 3. The
Urethral Irrigator, as constructed for Mr. R. Harmon, and
illustrated in his work on the urinary organs. It c insists of
a small Higginson's enema apparatus, to which is attached a

soft rubber catheter, made under the patent of Messrs.
Tiemann, of New York. The eye being formed in the mould
instead of being cut subsequently, it prevents sharp edges to
cause irritation. 4. Medical Batteries of English and French
construction. 5. Soluble Bladder Pessaries : These are pre-
pared of cocoa butter, and medicated with various sub-
stances. In use, one of these is placed in the end of a
special catheter, which ejects it from this position on reach-
ing the bladder. C. Mould for preparing above. 7. Dr.
Imlach's Electiic Appliances, for use in Partial Paralysis,

&c. : An ingenious arrangement by which the motion of the
patient applies the electric current ; making and breaking
contact at the moment when the muscles are required to
contract and expand. 8. Dr. Cauty's Patent Poultice : Con-
sisting of a sausage-shaped indiarubber bag, with spongio-
piline on one side. In use the spongio-piline is moistened,
and the bag is filled with hot water, by which means the
temperature is maintained much longer than in an ordinary
poultice. 9. French Enema : Working with two cylinders
(similar in appearance to an air-pump), whereby a con-
tinuous flow of the fluid is maintained. 10. American
Fountain Enema : This consists of an indiarubber bag, with
long tubes attached, and the bag is hung up above the
patient, the force being applied by hydrostatic pressure.

Chemicals and Drugs,

Camphor in tablets was conspicuous in the room devoted
to chemicals. It was exhibited by Messrs. May & Baker,
and George Atkinson. The American article, sublimed into
flat cakes and then sawn into tablets, was shown by Messrs.
Evans & Co., of Liverpool, but it is less transparent and solid
in appearance than the English. Messrs. May & Baker sub-
lime the camphor direct into moulds, on which, if desired,
the name and address of the retailer can be engraved . A
year or two ago a machine for subliming this tablet camphor
was sent to Japan by an American, but its use has been
abandoned because of the great loss from unskilful manipu-
lation, and from the evaporation of the tablets during ship-
ment.

Messrs. Corbyn, Stacey & Co. showed fine specimens of
new drugs and preparations. Adonis vcrnalis, the herb in a
fine state of preservation, was perhaps the most novel. This
lant used to be a favourite flower before the modern
ribband gardening came into fashion, and among man,
similar names it was called red morocco and red cam
Messrs. Burroughs, Wellcome & Co., represen
number of American houses, also went into the business
with zest, and one of the firm was generally on hand to
expa'iate on the luxuries displayed. Their chief novelties

EXACT SIZE OF TABLET.

were the capsuled pills of Messrs. McKesson & Robbins, of
New York. These are of ovoid form and of just the size to
contain the required dose. The capsule dissolves in the
mouth within about 30 seconds, which, however, leaves
ample time to swallow the medicine without tasting it, no
matter what its nature. They have a great variety of
formuhe in stock, and the " McK. & R." pills have already
attained considerable popularity in this country. It is
obvious that in these capsules the properties of the medi-
cines are retained in perfect condition indefinitely, while

the solubility of the covering is readily tested. Messrs.
Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. also showed Wyeth's compressed
tablets, the Kepler malt extract, and its combinations,
Lauman & Kemp's Florida water, Hazeline, a preparation of
the witch hazel {Ilamamdis Vwginica) and certain
apparatus referred to elsewhere. —

Messrs. Evans, Sons & Co., of Liverpool, and Evans,
Lescher &. Webb, of London, were handsomely represented
in several departments. Besides their Monserrat lime juice
and Vin Sante, which, as we have said, were on draught in
the tap-room, they had a varied set of Savar's specialties,
such as feeding-bottles, pomades, plasters, soaps, &c, among
the sundries. Samples of corn-plasters, adhesive without
moisture or warmth, were here being given away. Above
they showed a great number of pharmaceutical preparations
and chemicals. Prominent among these was a series of
ointments, all prepared with their popular hydro-carhop
"fossilene " as a basis. An extensive assortment of beauti-
fully-coated pills, and various nauseous medicines enclosed
in membranous capsules a la Sararesse. Specimens of their
materia medica cabinets were also on view.

Messrs. Huskissons' exhibit was an admirable shibboleth.
The large flask of fine prismatic crystals of phosphoric acid
was handsome, but not particularly remarkable to the
uninitiated. Practical chemists, on the other hand, saw in it
the great feature of the exhibition. It was rumoured that
only a day or two before had the trick of inducing this acid
to crystallise been discovered, and cynical observers believed
that even the exhibitor would be unable to produce another
specimen, happy accident being responsible for the one
before them.

Mr. A. W. Gerrard showed three interesting series of
specimens illustrating the manufacture of atropine, dubois-
ine, and hyoscyamine, showing the crude drug and the
alkaloid in various stages of its progress towards purity.
Here, again, the unpractical observer eains no idea of the
time and trouble represented by each step in the process.

Messrs. Burgoyne, Burbidges& Co. exhibited some artificial
flavours and perfumes and a substitute for cod-liver oil. The
same firm showed, for Messrs. Parke, Davis & Co., of Detroit,
some good specimens of the American drugs and fluid ex-
tracts which are beginning to attract so much attention
here as in the United States. These have since been pre-
sented to the Museum.

Among the harmless colours, essential oils, and artificial
essences which formed the staple of Messrs. W. J. Bush &
Sons' exhibit we noticed oil of sandal-wood, prepared from
the Cochin China tree, and said to possess more powerful
medicinal properties than any other.

Messrs. Christy & Co. showed, as always, the newest
drugs and alkaloids. EujrfwrMa pihtlifcra is a remedy for
asthmatic complaints used by the Australian natives. The
first notices of it appeared in English papers only last
month, when we republished the information among our
Foreign Notes. Specimens of it were shown by Messrs.
Christy.

The Clayton Aniline Company showed some preparations
which the pharmacist rarely sees. Among them were some
nearly colourle.-.s essence of mirbane for perfumery, which
ought to be useful for toilet articles, and some good speci-
mens of the chlorates of sodium and barium.

hloricalcium was exhibited by Mr. A. B. Cortis, of
orthing. Wc noticed it fully last month.

striking novelty was exhibited by Messrs.
Postans, on behalf of Messrs. Hamilton, Long
Dublin. This was a new system of plating
with galena, or lead sulphide, the depositing agent being
sulphocarbomide or sulpho-urea. Two glass vases, coated
one internally and the other externally in this manner, were
very handsome in appearance. The article to be plated is
immersed in a bath containing the sulpho-urea and a soluble
lead compouud ; a firmly-adherent layer of brilliant steel-
grey galena is deposited after some time, and must be
polished with leather. This process was devised or dis-
covered by Professor J. Emerson Reynolds.

Messrs. Morson & Son exhibited some fine chemicals,
including a long series of salicylates. The new cholagogues,
euonymin, iridin, leptandrin, and ammonium benzoafce were
also shown.

Spirit of wine, free from fusel oil, was shown by Mr. J.
Burrough, of Cale Street.

|)|)armaautieal Council

THE first meeting of the new Council was held on June 1.
All the members were present except Mr. Schacht,
who, the President said, was on the Continent in consequence
of his wife's health. After reading the minutes of the past
two meetings, the Secretary read letters

From Mr. G. D. Mackay, Edinburgh, in acknowledgment
of the vote of the Council concerning the late Mr. John
Mackay.

From Mr. J. R. Young, Edinburgh, accepting his appoint-
ment to the Council in place of the late Mr. John Mackay.

From Messrs. Lyon Playfair and Michael Foster and
Professors Attfield and Eussow, acknowledging their ap-
pointments as " honorary and corresponding members." All
expressed their sense of the high honour thus conferred
upon them, and their consequent gratification.

Election op Officers.

A ballot was taken for the appointment of President for
the ensuing year, which resulted in the unanimous election
■of Mr. Greenish.

For Vice-President the following votes were given : — For
Mr. Schacht 13, for Mr. Atkins 5, for Mr. Hampson 1, for
Mr. Churchill 1.

Mr. Williams moved, and Mr. Savage seconded, the re-
appointment of Mr. Eobbins as Treasurer. Mr. Carteighe,
however, remarked that he should think the Treasurer would
•esteem the compliment higher if the election were taken by
ballot in the ordinary manner. From his experience on the
■Council 11 years since, he considered that it might lead to
inconvenience unless the principal officers were thus elected.
After a short discussion a ballot was taken, when 17 votes
were given for Mr. Eobbins and 3 for Mr. Hampson.

Messrs. Greenish and Eobbins briefly acknowledged the
honours paid them.

The Standing Orders

For regulating the discussions of the Council were then
lead and adopted for the forthcoming year.

The Scotch Board of Examiners

On the motion of the President, the Chairman of the
Scotch Board of Examiners was requested to undertake for
the future the duties of Secretary to the Board, hitherto
fulfilled by the late Mr. Mackay. The resolution also
recorded the Council's sense of the value of the services
rendered by Mr. Mackay in this respect.

Secretary and Assistant Secretary.

Mr. Elias Bremridge was appointed Secretary and Eegis-
trar, and Mr. Richard Bremridge Assistant Secretary and
Deputy Eegistrar for the ensuing year.

Examiners.

A vacancy occurred on the Scotch Board of Examiners in
consequence of Mr. Young's appointment to the Council,
and a vacancy occurred on the English Board in consequence
•of Mr. Carteighe's election to the Council. The Council
went into Committee to discuss the appointment, and on Mr.
Carteighe's motion, after discussion and division, reporters
were required to withdraw. The following appointments,
subject to the approval of the Privy Council, were made :—
To the Scotch Board, Mr. Henry Bellyse Baildon, B.A.,
Edinburgh ; and to the English Board, Mr. John Clough
Thresh, Buxton.

The Election of Members
And Associates was then proceeded with, and the Eegistrar
reported 1 hat the name of Charles Jackson, South Street,
Chesterfield, had been added to the register, he having ful-
illed the required formalities.

Formal Business.
Committees were next arranged. Dr. Paul was re-ap-
xiinted editor of the Journal, and Mr. Passmore sub-
iditor, and Mr. Holmes curator of the museum. The

appointment of local secretaries was adjourned for a
month. The Secretary said votes for local secretaries
had been received from 211 towns, and there were 97 other
towns entitled to a local secretary from which no vote had
been received.

Financial.

Messrs. Andrews, Atkins, and Savage had acted as a
Finance Committee during the interval between the
Councils. Their report of payments ordered was adopted.

Mr. Bobbins stated that they had now a large balance in
hand, and he suggested that 1,500Z. should be either in-
vested in consols or placed on deposit with the Bank. They
would get about per cent, if they deposited. Consols
were very high just now.

Mr. Woolley asked if their broker could not find them
some better interest than 1J per cent, for money deposited
at call.

Mr. Richardson asked if they had power to invest
otherwise than in consols ? There were some corporations
which offered 3J or 4 per cent., and they were as safe as the
Bank of England.

The Secretary said the Council could invest the funds
as the}' pleased.

Mr. Butt said it must be in Government securities.

Mr. Bobbins said if they had invested their money in
land some years ago the Society would now have been very
rich. That, however, was not the present question.

It was resolved to place the 1,500/. on deposit.

House.

The report of this Committee stated that the tablet of the
list of prizemen was being prepared, and referred to paint-
ing and repairs.

Some conversation ensued as to the possibility of getting
a wood pavement laid in Great Eussell Street, so as to add
to the comfort of the Council meetings. The Secretary said
the Board would not consider the matter until the present
stone pavement was worn out.

The Library, Museum, and Laboratory Report

Comprised a record of a few donations, but gave rise to no
discussion.

The Exhibition Committee

Also reported as to the steps that had been taken in connec-
tion with the exhibition.

The International Pharmaceutical Congress.

A report was received from this Committee. It appeared
that including the 100/. voted Viy the Council, 302/. had
already been promised towards the expenses. Invitations
had been sent to Dr. Lyon Playfair and Professor Eussow.
Mr. E. Bremridge had been appointed treasurer. Mr. Barclay
had suggested the discussion of the relations of pharmacists
to medical men, and Professor Attrield had offered a paper
on Pharmaceutical Education. The Committee had ap-
pointed a sub-committee to arrange for interpreters.

Benevolent Fund.

Three grants amounting to 40/. were recommended by the
gentlemen who had acted for this Committee, and their
recommendations were adopted.

The Sessional Address.

After a discussion in committee Dr. Symes was requested
by the Council to deliver the address to students at the
opening of the session.

Dr. Symes said he accepted the appointment with much
dffidence, but as it seemed to be the wish of the Council he
would do his best, and he hoped they would not be disap-
pointed, thuugh he feared they would.

The Coroner and the Pharmacy Act.

The President said that, having seen a report of some
remarks made by Dr. Danford Thomas, the new Middlesex
coroner, in regard to the sale of some oxalic acid, which
showed that that gentleman had misunderstood the distinc-
tion between poisons of Part I. and Part II. of the Schedule,
he had asked Mr. Bremridge to write a letter drawing his
attention to the error. The coroner had replied, thanking

244

[June 10, 1881.

the Secretary for the information, and stated that he had
been guided in his reading of the Act by a clerk from the
druggist who had sold the poison, who he supposed was
acquainted with the Act.

Circulation ok the Journal.

The President stated that, as a question as to the circu-
lation of the journal had been raised at the annual meeting,
he had had a correct statement prepared, which showed
that with members, associates, apprentices, life members,
free copies, and average sales, a circulation of 7,000 was very
nearly made up.

The Jamaica Pharmacy Law.

The Colonial Office had sent to the Council a copy of " The
Sale of Drugs and Poisons Law, 1881," passed by the Legis-
lature of Jamaica, and now awaiting the Royal assent.

We gave details of this Act last month (page 209). The
Colonial Secretary now asked the Council of the Pharma-
ceutical Society to favour him with any observations on the
law which might occur to them before it received Her
Majesty's sanction.

The President said he supposed the Council would refer
the consideration of this law to the Pharmacy Act Amend-
ment Committee.

Mr. Symes remarked that the law was stated to come
into operation on July 1, so that no time was to be lost.

The President and others strongly urged that it ought
to be considered by a committee, and Mr. Hampson moved
that power be delegated to the Committee to reply to Lord
Kimberley. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Frazer opposed
delegation of the power of the Council to any committee.
Mr. Young said that the agenda paper stated ihat they were
to consider the matter, and it was probable that if they were
to go through it there would be no difference of opinion.
Mr. Symes said it would probably be only a matter of half-
an-hour for the Council to consider it. Mr. Atkins, how-
ever, urged that it was a subject which could be much
better examined by a committee. The bill was ultimately
referred to the Pharmacy Act Amendment Committee, and
authority was given to them to reply to Lord Kimberley.

Messrs. Hills and Sandi'ord.
In accordance with notice, Mr. Savage moved that —

The members of the Council desire to express their sincere regret at
the retirement of their esteemed colleagues, Mr. Sandlord and Mr.
Hills, and to record their high appreciation of the services they
have rendered to the Society for so many years. The Council
ventures to hope that the Society in its efforts to p -omote the best
interests of pharmacy may still continue to receive their valued
advice and ass stance.

The speaker at some length described the services of the
two gentlemen named on the Council and as Presidents of
the Society. Mr. Sandford was first elected in 1854 and
Mr. Hills in 1861.

Mr. Pottle seconded the motion, and eulogistic speeches
were made by Messrs. Robbins, Hampson, Atkins, and Frazer.
The motion was carried unanimously.

The Pharmaceutical Exhibition.

Mr. Symes moved for the appointment of an Exhibition
Committee, and Mr. Richardson seconded the motion, in-
troducing some little asperity by suggesting that the mem-
bers to be appointed should be such as had the success of the
exhibition at, heart. He feared the last Committee had
hardly carried their work through as a labour of love.

The President thought it was necessary to decide whether
an exhibition should be held before they appointed the com-
mittee.

Mr. Symes thought it would be the first work of the com-
mittee t) decide whether one should be held every year,
every other year, or triennially. Ultimately the view of
the President prevailed, and Mr. Symes withdrew his motion
and gave notice of another to the effect that an exhibition
be held next year.

Correspondence.
Letters were read from the editor of the " Kew Gardens
Official Catalogue," thanking the Society for the loan of
certain engravings; from Dr. Hogg, of Paris, asking for in-
formation respecting pharmacy in this country ; and from

the Secretary of the British Association, stating that it was
proposed to hold an exhibition at York to illustrate the pro-
gress made in the manufacture of scientific instruments dur-
ing the past 50 years.

MEETING OF COUNCIL, 'JUNE 1, 1881.

Present : President, Professor Tichborne ; Vice-President,
Dr. Aquilla Smith ; Messrs. Allen, Brunker, Collins, Draper,
Grindley, Harrington, Hayes, Hodgson, and Payne.
The minutes having been read and confirmed,
The Council proceeded to consider Mr. Hodgson's notice of
motion —

That a sum of 1007. be invested in Throe per Cent. Stock.

The President suggested that, as Mr. Hodgson was not
present, some member should propose his motion for him.

Mr. Draper thought that the present price of consols
was so high that it would be advisable to invest in some
other security.

Mr. Grindley had come intending to move an amend-
ment to that effect, and asked were they bound to invest in
Government securities.

The President considered that, as trustees, they would
be obliged to do so.

Mr. Hodgson, having arrived, said he. had since last
meeting balanced the accounts, and found that, after de-
ducting amount required to meet outstanding accounts, the
working balance would be too small ; he therefore considered
it not advisable to invest at present.

The President called attention to a former resolution
requiring all sums invested to be in the names of three
members.

Mr. Brunker asked if the three were not the President,
Vice-President, and Treasurer.

The President replied that it was so.

The motion, amended by adding " at first available oppor-
tunity," was proposed by Mr. Hodgson, seconded by Mr.
Draper, and passed.

Mr. Payne then proceeded with his notices of motion.
The first was intended to define the meaning of the clause
requiring candidates to have been practically engaged for
two years in compounding and dispensing in the establish-
ment of a pharmaceutical chemist or apothecary. Mr. Payne
proposed to add the words : —

That they have devoted the whole of their time to the practice and
study of pharmacy in his establishment.

He also proposed

That candidates for the pharmaceutical examination be required to
send their certificates of practical pharmacy and practical
chemistry It clear days befor; presenting themselves for examina-
tion.

And

That a committee of thre3 be appointed to examine the certificates of
candidates presenting themselves for the pharmaceutical ex-
amination, whose duty it shall be to instruct the Registrar if the
certificates do not conform with the regulations of the Councils

He said the Council would recollect that there was no rule
in the Society at iirst requiring practical pharmacy, and
that subsequently a regulation requiring two years' practice
had been passed. The intention at that time was that the
whole time should be given. Some, however, had considered
that if a student attended an hour a day it would be suffi-
cient. He was acquainted with a gentleman who had a
student attending an hour a day and one or two hours during
the evening. He had remarked it, and the reply was that there
was no rule to the contrary. He considered that it should
be made clear that the two years should be altogether spent
in the practice or study of pharmacy. He had brought the
matter before the Council in November, 1880, and now
again brought it forward, with some alterations. He con-
sidered that all the certificates should be examined. Last
year a candidate had sent a certificate, which had been
allowed, of an apothecary who had not for certainly twelve-

AND DRUGGIST.

215

years an open shop or dispensary of any kind, and for that
reason he had proposed a committee and suggested that a
member of Council in Dublin, Belfast, and Cork should
form the committee.

The Vice-President suggested a committee in Dublin
which could refer to the country members for information.

The President, while concurring with the intentions of
Mr. Payne, thought that as proposed it would be impracti-
cable.

Mr. Hodgson had no personal interest in the matter, not
having compounding upon his establishment. He had no
experience of what apprentices were required to do, but
thought that under the new rule, if passed, no time
for lectures could be allowed, his recollection being that in
the Apothecaries' Hall the assistants and apprentices were
allowed time, and he considered that if the candidates had
not learned compounding that the examiners would know
how to treat them.

Mr. Hayes considered such a rule arbitrary. He took
apprentices for five years, and none under, but would not
be able to conscientiously sign a certiticate under such a
stringent resolution.

The Vice-President said that Mr. Payne's other pro-
posals were desirable, but he did not think his first sugges-
tion was practicable.

Mr. Grindley thought it was not hard to ask a student
to say he had not been employed in one establishment and
learnt pharmacy in another.

Mr. Draper said in his opinion it would be utterly
impossible to carry out such a rule, and was fully convinced
that a student would become a compounding automaton.
He believed that he might as well propose a two years'
course of practical chemistry. The Pharmaceutical Society
of Great Britain had no such rule.

The President proposed that the second and third
proposal should be tried for a year, and the first be allowed
to drop, and that a committee of five, three for Dublin and
one each for Belfast and Cork, be substituted for a com-
mittee of three.

Mr. Harrington totally disagreed with Mr. Payne.

Mr. Brunker said that Mr. Payne had brought the
matter forward in consequence of some questions asked at
the annual meeting. He believed what was required was an
interpretation clause : he thought that to any sensible
person the regulation as it stood could have but one
meaning, and that the Privy Council would not pass it.

The President called upon Mr. Payne to proceed or
withdraw.

Mr. Payne said his motions were intended entirely for
the benefit of the Society. The Pharmaceutical Society of
Great Britain required three years' apprenticeship, and
during that period the whole time was required. It was his
intention to prevent persons who were six or seven hours
a day at some business not connected with pharmacy ob-
taining certificates, but, seeing so much opposition, he would
withdraw the first proposal.

The other proposals were passed, with the amendment of a
committee of five: Messrs. Allen, Brunker, Collins, Har-
rington, and Payne.

Mr. Brdnker proposed, and Mr. Payne seconded —

That it be an instruction to such committee to satisfy themselves that
the certificates granted guarantee a bond fide engagement in the
regular work of a pharmacy during the period.

This was passed without dissent.

The motion proposed by Dr. Collins, seconded by Mr
Grindley—

That on July 1 of each year the Registrar of the Pharmaceutical
Society be instructed to send a printed form to all the medical
schools approved by the Privy Council, for a return of all the
pharmaceutical students registered with them during the ses ion
then ended —

passed unanimously.

Tne meeting then adjourned.

Silicate of Soda (soluble glass) is largely used abroad
in the manufacture of cheap soaps. A concentrated solution
is incorporated with fatty soaps. It has properties similar
to other soaps, but is much cheaper.

JJ]cfi-ono(ifiw Reports.

Fire at Messrs. Bryant & May's Match Manu-
factory.— Considerable alarm was occasioned on May 30 by
a report that the Fairfield Works, Fairfield Road, Bow, were
on fire. The extensive premises are occupied by Messrs.
Bryant & May, the well-known match manufacturers. When
the first engine arrived the flames had already obtained a
firm hold of the place, and there was every indication of a
terrible disaster. In a very short space of time four steam-
engines, one manual, and a hydrant were engaged in direct-
ing a strong force of water on the fire. For several hours
the firemen continued their labours, and owing to their
exertions other portions of the works and the adjacent pro-
perties were preserved. The principal damage appears to
have been confined to a brick building, one or two floors of
about 200 feet by 70 feet being burnt out and the roof of
the place destroyed. Other portions of Messrs. Bryant &
May's property also suffered. The cause of the fire is un-
known. There was no insurance on the works, owing to the
dangerous character of the materials. We are requested to
state that the execution of orders by the firm will not in any
way be interfered with.

Suicide of a Chemist. — On May 12, Dr. Dan ford
Thomas, coroner for Central Middlesex, held his first inquiry
in that capacity at the Piailway Hotel, New Southgate, as to
the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Edmund
Henry Ombler, aged 43, a chemist and druggist, of 8 South-
gate Place. Harriet Fordham, domestic servant to deceased,
deposed that she last saw deceased alive on the morning of
May 10 between seven and eight o'clock. He was generally
very dull, but on the previous day he went up to London to
vote at the election for coroner. When he came back, and
up to the time he went to bed at ten o'clock, he appeared in
better spirits. Shortly before eight o'clock on the 10th, her
mistress met her on the stairs and asked her where her
master was, and she told her she had seen him come down,
and she thought he might have gone out ; but on going into
the drawing-room she found her master lying on his face on
the rug. She raised an alarm, and ran downstairs for Mr.
Jenkins. Mr. Evan Jenkins, assistant to deceased, said he
had just returned from his morning's walk when he was
called by last witness and found deceased on the rug in the
drawing-room dead. A bottle with prussic acid about half
full, and stoppered, was on the mantelshelf by the side of a
measuring-glass. He at once saw what had happened, and
ran for the medical man. Dr. Beedles said he had attended
deceased for some time for weakness of heart and
rheumatics in the head. He was sent for about nine o'clock,
and found deceased as described, the symptoms indicating
death from prussic acid, a teaspoonful of which would have
been sufficient to cause death. The coroner observed that he
perfectly recollected seeing deceased at the polling-booth at
Islington on May 9, and shaking hands with him. The jury
ultimately returned a verdict that deceased died from the
effects of prussic acid, self-administered, whilst in an
un unsound state of mind.

Fraud and Forgery.— At the Central Criminal Court
on May 24, Charles Maples, 40, chemist, whose ca=e was
mentioned in our last issue, pleaded Guilty " to forging
and uttering receipts for the delivery of goods with intent
to defraud Mr. Charles Maw and several other surgical-
instrument makers. He was sentenced to five years' penal
servitude.

Steed v. Arabix. — This was an action, heard at the
Lambeth County Court on June 1, to recover 41. for
medicine supplied to the defendant's wife. Mr. H. W. Ody
appeared for the plaintiff, a chemist in Wandsworth Road,
and Mr. Lickfold appeared for the defendant, a gentleman
residing in Grosvenor Square. It appeared from the plain-
tiff's evidence that he had made up the prescriptions of
sundry doctors who attended on defendant's wife. Mr.
Lickfold said that defendant was living apart from his wife,
a deed of separation having been executed on condition that
the latter was allowed 240Z. a year for her maintenance.
Notwithstanding this, bills had come in from wine mer-
chants, hotel-keepers, and other tradesmen, which defendant
had paid to avoid annoyance, but he had recently determined
to make a stand against any further persecution in respect

245

of Lis liability for his wife's debts, inasmuch as she had an
ample allowance if she chose to make a good use of it.. His
Honour said that had the claim been one for jewellery or
any article of extravagance he might have been disposed to
give judgment in his favour, but as the defendant had ad-
mitted his income amounted to several thousand pounds a
year, and looking also to the fact that the present claim was
for " necessaries," he should give judgment for the amount
claimed, with costs.

BELFAST.

Alleged Adulteration of Mustard. — An informa-
tion under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act had been pre-
ferred at Belfast against a grocer for selling a parcel of
mustard alleged to have been adulterated with flour,
although sold as being pure mustard. The report of the
local analyst certified to adulteration ; but. Messrs. J. & J.
Colman, the manufacturers, demuned to the correctness of
the analysis, affirming that any package of mustard issuing
from their factory, whether in the form of an admixture or
genuine mustard, carries a direct and legible notice on the
label, declaratory of the nature of the contents, in con-
formity with the requirements of the Act, and that this
course is invariably followed in the conduct of their
business. The magistrates adjourned the case for the
purpose of submitting the original sealed sample in the
custody of the Court to Somerset House for official analysis.
Upon the adjourned hearing, the Government analyst's
report was produced, testifying to the absolute purity of the
sample of mustard. The case was, of course, dismissed.

CHESTERFIELD.

Chemists and the Explosives Act. — On June 2, at
the Chesterfield Borough Police Court, Messrs. Abraham
Greaves & Son, chemists, were summoned by Major Ford,
Inspector under the Explosives Act, for having committed
three separate offences under the Explosives Act.

The first charge was that the defendants on May 19,
being occupiers of registered premises under the pro-
visions of the Explosives Act of 1875, kept explo-
sives exceeding 1 lb. weight, the same not being enclosed
in substantial cases, bags, or canisters, so as to pre-
vent them from escape, as required by the Act. The
second charge was that they kept, on their registered pre-
mises, an amount of powder exceeding 50 lbs. in weight, the
amount found on the premises on the 12th ult. being 317 lbs.,
which was not in a substantially constructed building ex-
clusively appropriated for the purpose. The third charge
was that the defendants , being occupiers of registered pre-
mises under the Explosives Act, 1875, did not take all due
precaution for the prevention of accidents by fire or explo-
sion.

Major Ford said that on May 10 he had occasion to call on
Messrs. Greaves with reference to their factory at Grass-
moor. Witness went down their yard in the Market Place
and found, I3 ing close to the door of one of the warehouses,
firstly, a barrel containing 100 lbs. of powder, a box con-
taining 12 lbs. of blasting cartiidges, one containing 25 lbs.
having been opened. He proceeded to the building at the
bottom of the yard, and in which defendants kept the ex-
plosives. This building, from its situation, would be only
qualified to hold 50 lbs., but 145 lbs. were stored in it —
95 lbs. in excess of the proper and lawful amount. Witness
ordered the 95 lbs. and the other 192 lbs., in all 267 lbs., to
be put under seizure. Loose powder and a box of cartridges
were standing open 'near the door of the warehouse in the
yard. Anyone smoking would pass within a foot or two feet
of the powder, and within a very few feet of a large
quantity of petroleum, amounting to 3G barrels, in addition
to which there was a quantity of other oils. There were
also a number of empty barrels which had contained in-
flammable substances. If by any means a fire had taken
place the petroleum would have run down the yard, which
inclines, and conveyed the flames to a number of houses

down the yard, and no one knew where else. He wished to
say with regard to the excess — 192 lbs. — which was found
at the door of the warehouse, that it was the powder to
which the charge of carelessness referred.

Mr. Greaves claimed that the local authority had regis-
tered the magazine to hold 200 lbs., but Major Ford said the
local authorities only registered the building, and did not
settle the weight to be kept.

Mr. Greaves further argued the matter, maintaining that
no wilful offence had been committed. He had never seen
the statute, and he felt that the authorities had not pub-
lished the regulations as they should do.

Major Ford said that the statute under which proceedings
were taken had been published in the Gazette, and could be
obtained for Id.

Mr. Greaves said he had been in business 45 years, with
no explosive mishap. It was in his own interest to avoid
any explosion or occurrence such as had been suggested by
Major Ford.

After further discussion the Bench consulted a short
time, and inflicted a fine of 101. and costs (the powder not
to be forfeited), which Mr. Greaves remarked was, in his
opiinion, excessive.

DUBLIN.

Great Fire. — At G a.m. on May 21 a fire broke out in
the wholesale drug establishment of Messrs. M' Master,
Hodgson & Co., Capel Street, Dublin. The premises were
very extensive, and were enclosed in a block of houses in
one of the most crowded parts of the city. Oils, paints,
varnishes, and petroleum formed a large part of the stock.
The conflagration was, therefore, very rapid, and by
10 o'clock the whole premises were destroyed. The damage
done was estimated at 30,000Z., covered by insurance.
Several adjoining properties were seriously injured. The
firm has since carried on business without serious interrup-
tion at their mills at Ashtown and at their other establish-
ments in Dublin.

GLASGOW.

Malt VINEGAR. — On May IS, George Lindsay, grocer and
provision merchant, Cilasgow, was summoned before Sheriff
Balfour on the charge that he had sold a mixture of acetic
acid and water as malt vinegar. Dr. Clark, city analyst,
said he had analysed the article, and found that it was not
malt vinegar, but it was difficult to say how it had been
made. Probably it was simply 5'48 per cent, acetic acid
diluted with 95 per cent, water. Professor Diltmar, of the
Andersonian University, was examined, and stated that it
was extremely difficult to distinguish distilled malt vinegar
from pure acetic acid and water. He had made the subject
a special study, and found that Folding's reagent answered
this purpose. With reference to the value of dextrine in
malt vinegar, it was not very essential, and he considered
it was a matter of taste. Phosphoric acid was not a valuable
ingredient in vinegar, neither was potash.— On May 30 the
case came again before the Court, and the Sheriff, in passing
sentence, thought the case was one for a nominal penalty,
as the vinegar had been supplied to the retail dealer duly
labelled as malt vinegar. He therefore inflicted a fine
of 1/.

The Glasgow Apothecaries' Company's Boat Club.—
The annual boat race between employes of the Glasgow
Apothecaries' Company — retail and wholesale departments —
took place on May 21, at 7 A.M., the course chosen being
from Rutherglen Bridge to the Suspension Bridge. After an
exciting race the representatives of the retail department
won easily by about four lengths, adding one more to their
numerous victories. The whole course during the race was
watched with considerable interest by a numerous company
of friends and others. The crews were as follow : — Retail —
Chalmers, Houston, Stewart, and Fleming. Wholesale-
Robertson, Campbell jun., Reid, and Law.

LIVERPOOL.

Fraser v. The Porous Plaster Company.— In the
Court of Passage, on May 23, James Fraser, printer, claimed
36£. from the Porous Plaster Company of the city of New
York, represented by Mr. H. D. Brandreth. The plaintiff
prints tickets for the tramway companies, and he agreed
with the defendants to have their advertisement on the

backs of those tickets. The question was whether the
plaintiff had kept his agreement. He contended that he
had ; that the defendants had the exclusive right of the
advertisement on the back of the ticket for the time agreed
upon, and that he was entitled to the amount claimed. The
defence was that the plaintiff had broken his contract ; that
the defendants had not the exclusive advertising on the
tickets, for that during the period it was arranged they
should have it there appeared on the tickets the advertise-
ment of Brown, Barnes & Bell. The jury found for the
plaintiff for 1SI.

LONGTON.

At Longton, Staffordshire, Mr. John Goldstraw, grocer,
was charged with selling ground ginger which on analysis
was found to contain 20 per cent, of ground rice. A fine of
5s. and costs was imposed.

MANCHESTER.
Sale of Paregoric. — At the Hyde Police Court, on
May 19, John Wyld, of 27 George Street, was summoned for
selling paregoric which the certificate of the Cheshire
County Analyst showed to have been adulterated with
25 per cent, of water. Mr. Wild said he did not make the
paregoric ; he merely sold it as he got it, and the traveller
gave him his word that it was pure. The Magistrates' Clerk :
You should get that in writing. Mr. Wild : Ah ! it's too
late now ; it's like locking the stable when the horse has
gone. If I'm sent for here again, it will not be paregoric
that will bring me. (Laughter.) A fine of 5s. and costs
was imposed.

NOTTINGHAM.
Nottingham and Notts Chemists' Association. —
The annual meeting was held on May 31 ; the President,
Mr. R. Fitz-Hugh, in the chair. The Secretary read the
annual report, which showed the association to be increas-
ing, both numerically and financially. There are now
55 members and 29 associates, against 55 members and
25 associates Jast year. The treasurer's account showed a
balance to the credit of the association of 611. 17s. 2d.
Both reports were adopted. The following were elected
officers and council for the ensuing session : — President: Mr.
E. Fitz-Hugh, F.C.S.; Vice-President: Mr. T. B. Fletcher ;
Treasurer : Mr. W. H. Parker ; Hon. Secretary : Mr. C. W.
Warriner; Council: Messrs. Jackson, Wilford, Humphreys,
W. Widdowson, White, Bolton, Beverley, and Lewis ;
Auditors : Messrs. C. Fletcher and A. Beilby. A vote of
thanks to the president concluded the meeting.

NEWCASTLE.
Fire. — A destructive fire broke out at the Redheugh
Chemical Works, Low Teams, on June 3. The buildings
were completely gutted, the damage, which is not covered
by insurance, being estimated at 7,000?. to 10,000?.

OBAN, N.B.

Destructive Fire. — About midnight on June 1 a fire
oroke out on the premises of Mr. Mackercher, druggist,
bird's Place, and, owing to the inflammable nature of the
naterials stored in the shop, the flames soon obtained a
nastery, resulting in the entire destruction of the property.

SHEFFIELD.

Housebreaking by a Chemist's Assistant. — On
ilay 17 James Latham Rowney, chemist's assistant, was
barged at the Town Hall with having broken into the
■remises of his employer, Mr. George Dale, chemist and
Iruggist, 3 Main Road, Darnall, and stolen a pair of forceps,
bottle of patchouli, 7*. in silver, and 2s. 9d. in copper. The
irisoner was dismissed from his post on May 10, and on the
aorning of May 12, the shop, which had been securely locked
y Mrs. Anstwick, the housekeeper, on the previous night,
?as found to have been entered, and the forceps and money
tolen. Entrance had been obtained by the removal of the
ellar grate. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and when he
■as apprehended by Police-constable Elston the forceps
ere in his possession. In answer to the charge he pleaded
uilty, and said he was under the influence of drink when
e entered the premises. He was committed to prison for
le month, with hard labour.

STOURPORT.

Administering Poisonous Drugs to Horses. — At the
Petty Sessions, May 21, Henry Mantle, a waggoner in the
employ of Mr. John Harris, farmer, of Waresley, was
charged with administering poisonous drugs to two horses.
Mr. Thursfield appeared for the defence. It appeared that
on April 6 prosecutor found three bottles concealed in a
corn-bin of which the prisoner had the key. The bottles
contained aquafortis, oil of vitriol, and dragon's blood, and
prisoner admitted that he had given some of their contents
to the horses. Mr. Thursfield said his client gave the drugs
to the animals for the sake of improving their appearance
and condition. The Bench commented severely upon 1 1 e
practice of grooms and others giving drugs to horses with-
out their masters' knowledge. Many valuable animals
were injured, and even killed in that way. They did not
believe that the defendant did it with any malicious
intent, and on account of that and his previous good con-
duct they should only fine him XI. and costs.

TAMWORTH.

At the police court May 18, Arthur Gisborne, a young
man employed as a traveller by Mrs. Fanny Felthouse,
grocer and chemist, Market Place, was charged with
embezzlement. His duty had been to solicit orders and
collect accounts, and it was shown that he had received
several sums which he had not entered in his books. He
was sentenced to three months' hard labour.

OLIVE AND COTTONSEED OILS.

WE published last month ( page 206) a short note^on the
importation of American cottonseed oil into Italy,
and its use there as an adulterant of olive oil. The United
States consuls at Marseilles, Rome, and Florence, under date
of February and March, have sent further information to
their Government, which is published in the April reports.

The use of cottonseed oil in making white foaming soap
was the cause of a great increase in its import into Mar-
seilles after the year I860. Its price, however, soon rose to
that of the ground nut oil it was introduced to replace,
and at present it is only used to a small extent, when mixed
with palm and cocoanut oil, in the manufacture of an inferior
quality of soap called sawn blame a froid, which finds a
market in Western France. The oil used in soap factories
comes chiefly from the crushing works at Hull. About six
years ago American cottonseed oil first appeared in Mar-
seilles, and rapidly grew into favour. The better grades are
tasteless, and are used to adulterate olive and other eatable
oils. Cottonseed oils congeal at a higher temperature than
olive oil, and this offers the only means of detecting the ad-
mixture. The manufacturers have met this difficulty by
sending oil which retains its fluidity at — 5°C. In Marseilles
and Italy temperatures are rarely low enough to demand
tnis refinement in adulteration, though the Northern dis-
tricts will be enabled thereby to adopt this branch of trade.

The Consul-General at Rome reports (March 8) that a
Bill, increasing the duty on all forms of cottonseed oil from
6 to 20 lire a quintal, and fixing a tax of 14 lire a quintal
on cottonseed oil made in Italy, has passed the Italian
Chamber of Deputies, and has been referred to the Senate
for confirmation. It is strongly supported by the Italian
Cabinet on the ground that the heavy adulteration of olive
oil with cottonseed oil for table use is discrediting the Italian
olive oil on foreign markets.

The Consul at Florence remarks that, although last year
the oil crop was not a large one in Italy, there are on band
now at different shipping ports large quantities of so-called
"pure olive oil " awaiting purchasers. In 1877 Italy ex-
ported 50,248,900 kilos, of olive oil, but during 1878 and
1879, although I am unable to get at the actual figures, I
learn from the best authority that the exports have fallen
off greatly, owing to the adulteration with cottonseed oil.
The Deputy in the Italian Parliament who introduced the
Bill increasing the tax on cottonseed oil stated publicly
that unless people could deal directly with the proprietors
of the estates growing olives, they would hardly be able to
obtain pure olive oil even in Italy.

air 10 minutes, then dip again, and expose as before. Re-
peat this dipping and drying four or five times. Most
flowers thus treated will remain unaltered for some time if
not handled.— Scientific American.

Bagging for Chemicals. — A patent has been taken out
by Grouchy for making bagging which resists chemical
action. The bagging is plunged in the following solution
at 60° C. (142° F.) and left for an hour :—

Sulphate of alumina 1 kilo.

Water 25 litres

Borate of lime 1 kilo.

The borate of lime is added after the sulphate of alumina
has dissolved in the boiling water, and the whole decanted
when settled. After taking out of this bath, the textiles are
put in a second bath, composed of 1 kilo, of resinous soap
and 1 kilo, of Marseilles soap, dissolved in 25 litres of water
and carried to the boiling-point. At the end of ten minutes
the cloths are allowed to drip, and dried, and then re- washed
and dried. Bagging made in this way will, it is claimed,
resist the action of any acids or chemicals put into them. —

Jaborandi for stimulating the Growth of Hair.
— The Union Pharmaceutique last year published a note to
the effect that a German physician had been struck with the
curious production of hair in places where he had applied
pilocarpine in hypodermic injection. A pharmacien having
read that note, writes to say that he has found a mixture of
tincture of cinchona and arsenic in which jaborandi leaves
have been macerated produce excellent results.

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

THE Melbourne Exhibition will soon be a thing of the
past. A few days ago the ceremony of distributing the
awards took place, the various juries, numbering about
forty, had completed their labours the day before.
There was an immense attendance present to witness the
ceremony, which was performed by His Excellency the
Marquis of Normanby. The chairmen of juries, who
handed in their reports, were presented to the Governor
one by one. As soon as Her Majesty's representative had
taken his seat on the dais, the Hon. W. J. Clarke, M.L.C.,
and President of the Commission, read a " progress report "
to which His Excellency replied. Since the opening day
the exhibition has been visited by large numbers from all
parts of the Australasian colonies. More than a million have
already passed through the gates. The net cost of this
great show to the colony of Victoria will be about 250,000/.
The formation of juries " was commenced in October, and
the gratuituous services of over 350 gentlemen were secured
for the purpose." The immense labour undertaken by some
of the juries, and the patience with which examinations
were conducted, and the amount of time bestowed are,
says the report, " especially worthy of note, and demand the
thanks of the Commissioners."

The result has been that 2,465 exhibits have been placed
in the first order of merit, 2,013 in the second order, 1,651
in the third order, 812 in the fourth, and 581 honourable
mentions.

The following tabulated statement is from the Argus : —
The comparative list of awards given below can only be
regarded as approximate. It is made up from the jury-
books to March 21. Its chief value will be to enable the
reader to compare the number of honours awarded to each
country. Several jury reports are still incomplete, and
until all come in and the appeals are decided no list can be
furnished that is even approximately correct. The list is as

* These numbers include some hon. mentions,
t Awards not computed.

The Governor in his reply, after distributing the awards,
made the following observations, amongst others : — "Its
success— the Melbourne International Exhibition— has far
exceeded my most sanguine expectations. The display
of manufactures and products in the Victorian Court
is such as the colony may well be proud of, and
the Exhibition of Melbourne will long remain an
example of what may be accomplished by a young,
an energetic, and an ambitious country." Whether the
permanent benefits resulting from this somewhat extrava-
gant enterprise will compensate for the enormous cost
to this colony is a matter of doubt. We shall have the
huge and unlovely building to look at and a quarter of
a million of money to payl The real success of our big

show is due to the exhibitors, especially the English,
French, and German.

The awards in the Pharmaceutical and Chemical classes
will be found below, as well as perfumery and some others
of a mixed character, but which were placed under the same
jury. The Pharmaceutical jury — the composition of which
I forwarded to you in my last communication — worked well
and with an earnest and conscientious desire to do justice
rigidly. Fortunately the chairman had as his clerk a
gentleman of ability as a scientific chemist, who undertook
a great many examinations for the purpose of testing the
quality and comparative purity of the exhibits which were
committed to him.

The other members of the jury also did a large amount of
work, so that every possible care was taken to obtain fixed
data upon which to base the awards. It has been decided
by the Executive Commifsioners to give medals only to
those in the first order of merit, which will consist of gold,
silver, and bronze. The medal will have the Queen's head
on one side, with the words "Melbourne International
Exhibition," and on the obverse a wreath with the words
" Vitam excoluere per artes." The medals have been struck
at the Melbourne Royal Mint. The chairman of the
Chemical and Pharmaceutical jury, Mr. C. R. Blackett, who
is President of the Pharmaceutical Society and one of the
Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition, received the thanks
of the jury for his services, and the same compliment was
paid to Mr. G. Manly Hopwood, F.I.C., who acted as
jury clerk and expert. It is satisfactory to find
that the awards made by this jury have been generally
approved of, very few appeals having been sent in, and on
reference to experts the original decisions were in most cases
sustained. The amount of work involved in examining and
estimating so great a collection of exhibits must have been
very great, and if some errors have been made it is not to be
wondered at. In examining the list of awards you will find
that very unimportant art exhibits are placed in the first
order of merit. That, of course, does not impty that the jury
considered them as of equal value and deserving of as much
commendation as grand exhibits, but that of a class or of a
lot of similar articles such and such was the best relatively.
It would be absurd, for instance, to consider a bottle of
marking ink as of the same rank as a. show of alkaloids such as
Thos. Whiffen's, T. & H. Smith's, or Merck's, and othersjequally
beautiful. We have been told by the superintendent of j uries,
Mr. Cosmo Newbery, B.Sc , that this is clearly understood
by the Commissioners. In passing I cannot omit to mention
that Mr. Newbery lias proved himself one of the most effi-
cient and courteous officers of the exhibition. He is a man
in whom everyone has the most perfect confidence, and the
Commissioners could not have made a better selection. The
whole administration of the 40 juries has rested on his
shoulders, and exhibitors and jurors have reason to thank
him.

The list of awards is a long one. The Executive have
decided to adhere to their original intention with regard to
the issue of medals, very many of those who obtained for
some trifling exhibit a " first order of merit " award will not
get anything more than a certificate. Gold and silver medals
will only be given to important and valuable exhibits.

The Emperor of Germany has offered a magnificent prize,
which has been valued at 700Z. This prize is to be awarded
to one of the Australian exhibitors on the recommendation
of the chairmen of the juries. It will be an exceedingly
difficult matter for the decision of these gentlemen, although
the number of eligible candidates must be small, yet the
competition will be keen, and the disappointment great to
those who must — as they may think they have equal merits —
be overlooked. It is to be hoped that the result of the adjudi-
cation will be such as to give universal satisfaction !

The following lists of awards are complete for the sections
named. We gave last month a more general list of British
awards, including those of other sections.

PROTOCHLORIDE OF IKON AND ITS PREPARATIONS.

Ly Wll, Gilmoub, Edinburgh.

RECENT experiments by some of our professors have gone
far, we understand, to prove the superiority, in several
respects, of ferrous chloride as a therapeutic agent over
many of the other salts of iron at present in use.

Such being the case, it is more than probable that we may
have shortly to face, not a new series of pharmaceutical
preparations exactly, but some comparatively unknown to
many, and therefore, taking time by the forelock, a few
suggestions, we think, may prove generally acceptable.
Most of the facts and points referred to in the following
paper were brought out in a series of experiments for the
information of a medical friend, and not with any ultimate
view to publication, but they are none the less practical
and to be depended upon on this account.

Preparation of Ferrous Chloride. — Ferrous chloride, or
protochloride of iron, as most text-books inform us, may be
prepared in three ways : by (1) passing chlorine or hydro-
chloric acid gas over iron filings or turnings heated to red-
ness in an iron tube connected with a receiver into which
the product may sublime; (2) by heating iron filings or
turnings with sal ammoniac ; or (3) by dissolving the iron
filings in dilute hydrochloric acid, filtering the solution and
heating until crystallisation takes place. By any of these
methods the product represented by the formula FeCl24H20
may be obtained, and it requires only a moment's con-
sideration to show that the last, so far as the pharmacist
is concerned, is the most practical process, and, more-
over, one from which almost any pharmaceutical
preparation or combination of this salt likely to be
required may conveniently be obtained. Unfortunately,
none of the text-books give the relative proportions of the
ingredients by this process, nor do they enter into any
details whatever, so that many important points are left to
be found out by experience or experiment. The propor-
tions are not difficult of calculation : thus, taking one
equivalent in grains of iron (56 grains), two equivalents of
hydrochloric acid gas (or 230 grains of the Pharmacopoeia
acid) are required; and, if we keep in mind that this
yields 127 grains anhydrous protochloride, or 199 grains
FeCMLLjO, we have a basis from which we may calculate
the proportions for any preparation or any quantity.

It is at this point, however, that difficulties will probably
be experienced, for the process, which, at the best, is some-
what tedious, may be retarded, or even arrested altogether,
if the acid be employed either too dilute or too strong. If it
be too strong the action, though brisk at first, will quickly
lessen, and soon altogether cease, so that anyone not
familiar with the process might imagine that at this point
it was finished. If heat, however, be now applied it will be
found that the action will once more begin, and go on
briskly for a time, but by-and-by it again ceases, on which,
if further heat be continued to be applied, the whole will
quickly pass into a semi-solid condition. The explanation
is simply this, that the strong acid soon becomes saturated
with the chloride of iron, which, crystallising round
the undissolved iron, stops the further action of the
free acid on it. On the application of heat the
chloride dissolves, and once more permits the action
to proceed, but it again soon becomes saturated, this
time super-saturated, so that on the least diminution
of the heat, or on its continued application causing aqueous
loss through evaporation, the whole passes, as has just been
stated, into the semi-solid state. On the other hand, if the
acid be too dilute the action will go on for hours, and in the
end so slowly that it is difficult to tell the exact time when
it is completed. There is also the further fact to be kept in
mind, namely, that in making pills or syrups (the only two
preparations on which we have experimented) it is necessary
to proceed with the smallest quantity of water possible, so
as to run no unnecessary risk from oxidation by after evapo-
ration and concentration. After many experiments, the
proportions which we would recommend, subject to condi-
tions afterwards to be referred to, would be, for every part
of hydrochloric acid two parts of water. There is only one
other point which need be here referred to, namely, that the
iron ought always to be taken slightly in excess of its
theoretical proportion, owing to the fact of its never being
found in a state of absolute purity.

Formula. — It has already been stated that we have only
experimented with the syrup and pills, but speaking from
experience no other preparations will probably ever become
popular. At least the sugar, which of necessity enters into
the one and which may be made to enter into the other also,
is useful in these, as in all ferrous preparations, in prevent-
ing oxidation, and the forms in other respects as well are
those most suitable for its administration.

Syrup of Protoehloride of Iron.

Take

Iron wire (cleaned and cut small) .. .. .. 70 grains

Hydrochloric acid, B.P 288 grains

Water 1J oz.

Put the ingredients into a small flask and heat gently
until effervescence ceases ; then boil for a few minutes, and
filter while hot into thick simple syrup. The whole, when
finished, should measure 10 fl. oz., and each fl, drachm will
contain as near as possible 2 grains anhydrous ferrous
chloride. The water here employed to dilute the hydro-
chloric acid is in excess of that already suggested or in that
used in the succeeding formula for the pills, but this is
rendered necessary by the application of heat and the srnall-
ness of the quantities operated upon. It is evident, however,
that, whatever the amount of water originally taken, the
ultimate result may be regulated by the density of the
syrup into which the product is filtered.

Pills of Protoehloride of Iron.

Take

Iron wire (cleaned and cut small) . . 130 grains
Hydrochloric acid, B.P 516 grs. (nearly 1 fl. oz.)

Water . . 2 oz.

Put into a small flask and proceed as in the previous case ;
filter while hot into an evaporating- dish, and quickly
evaporate until, on stirring with a glass rod, the whole
crystallises, when it should be added to the following
mixture : —

Grains

Sugar, finely powdered 200

Liquorice powder .. .. .. .. .. 200

Tragacanth powder . . . . . . . . . . 20

Mix into a mass, and divide into 144 pills. Each pill will
as near as possible, contain 2 grains anhydrous chloride.

If the crystallised chloride be added too quickly to the
powders the mass may probably be too soft in the first

instance, in which case it may be transferred to an
cvaporating-dish, and dried carefully with a gentle heat.
This must, however, be done with great care to prevent
oxidation from exposure on the one hand, or charring and
consequent oxidation from over-heating on the other.

■Keeping Properties, tfc. — So far as the keeping properties
of these preparations are concerned they promise to
possess advantages over many of the ferrous preparations
now in use. Several quantities of syrup, both 2 grains
and 4 grains protochloride to each drachm, were exposed
under various conditions, such as to bright sunshine, to
diffused light, in the dark, and in bottles loosely corked, and
in none of the samples, after several weeks' exposure, was
there any appreciable change. The samples loosely corked,
and another sample put into a bottle and half filled, and
which was from time to time frequently opened, so as to
represent as much as possible the conditions of a dispensing
bottle, had passed into a deep straw colour, but in none of
the other samples was there any appearance of passing into
this stage, and in none was there any deposit sufficiently
large to be estimated. An estimation of the iron present
in the ferrous state in all these samples was afterwards
made, and in every respect confirmed these pre-
liminary observations. The same remarks apply to the
pills so far as risk from oxidisation is concerned, but with
them there is a difficulty which, as it is not so frequently
met with, it may be as well to refer to at length. The pills,
when made according to the formula given, do not contain
the protochloride in the anhydrous state, but something
between that state and one containing the full quantity of
water of crystallisation represented by the formula 4BLO. If
the full percentage of water of crystallisation were allowed for,
the amount in the foregoing proportions would be 162 grains,
and this, following out the directions given, would be found
in the first instance to make the mass too soft. On the other
hand, if the water representing the water of crystallisation
be reduced by evaporation to 140 grains, or thereby, and the
protochloride in this state added to the powders while still
in a boiling condition, so as to retain as much free moisture
as possible to act on the sugar, a mass will be obtained
which, on cooling, will roll off easily, and when cold will be
hard and firm. The difficulty is to keep them in this state.
After keeping them in the ordinary way for ten days or a
fori night, the pills will gradually begin to soften from
absorption of moisture, snd this will go on until they are so
soft as scarcely to be fingered. In this state they do not
run or flatten as some pills do, nor do they suffer oxidation
to any appreciable extent. Nearly a dozen experiments were
made on different samples that had been exposed to atmo-
spheric influence for nearly a month, and embracing samples
so moist as to go into a soft paste on the least
touch, and in none was there any oxidation greater
than might be accounted for by error in experiment.
This is very different from our experience of other ferrous
preparations, and particularly of Blaud's pills, which have
of late again become somewhat popular. We may take an
early opportunity of referring to these for the purpose of
pointing out the amount of oxidation that takes place in
the preparing and keeping of them, but in the meantime we
would simply refer to the experiments which were tried to
overcome the hygroscopic tendency of the protochloride
when thus formed into pills. Coating them in the usual
way with gum water and chalk was the first process tried,
but this was not found sufficient to protect them. Silvering
kept them good for nearly a fortnight, but after that the
leaf began to tarnish, and they got repulsive-looking and
quickly gave way. Coating them with a thin coating of oil
of theobroma, and afterwards rolling them in powder was
found in every way to answer better. This kept them, if
carefully stored, for a considerable time, but if kept in an
ordinary pill-box they began to crack between the third and
fourth week, but only after this did the process of softening
proceed, which it did slowly. To obviate as far as possible
this cracking tendency, which renders the pills somewhat
inelegant, the tragacanth powder was added to the mass to
render it more cohesive, but this only partly overcame the
difficulty, tjince trying the foregoing experiments it has
been suggested to coat them with balsam of tolu. Suffi-
cient time has not elapsed to try this properly, but probably
it will be found to answer the purpose, particularly if they
are kept in air-tight vessels.

OLIVE OILS IN FRANCE.

THE Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce has received from
the Customs authorities in France a communication
with reference to olive oil. It is pointed out in this com-
munication that the laws of 1846 which authorised the free
admission of olive oil, &c, intended for refiners in France
for re-exportation, did not define what was meant by the
word "refining," and what processes the products must
undergo. Thus, for a long time, some manufacturers re-
stricted themselves to a simple process of racking. The
Consultation Committee of Arts and Manufactures has de-
clared a simple deposit of oil in vessels for the purpose of
"settling " and afterwards being racked was only a clarifi-
cation, and not refining in the sense of the law, and that
the free admission privilege was only applicable to oils
treated by sulphuric acid or other equivalent chemical agent.
The two Departments of Commerce and Finance have adopted
these conclusions, but not apparently as regards olive oils ;
and the Customs authorities having recently wished to ex-
tend the system so as to embrace olive oil, vigorous protests
have been made by the trade against such a proceeding. It
is pointed out on behalf of the trade that the refining of
olive oil by sulphuric acid would alter the quality of the
oil, and would render it even insalubrious. At Bordeaux
these products have always been refined by heating them
in wooden receptacles bound with tin plate, and then
filtering them through a compact bed of cotton. Having
regard to these facts the Customsauthorities in France have
decided to permit the free admission of olive oils refined by
the process adopted at Bordeaux.

THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY.

Thursday, June 2.

Professor Koscoe, President, in the chair.

It was announced that a ba'lot for the election of Fellows
would take place at the next meeting of the Society
(June 16).

The following papers were read : —

" Experimental Researches on the Amalgamation of Silver
Ores," by C. Rammelsberg.

" On the Action of Solvents on Saponified Oils and
Waxes," by A. H. Allen and W. Thomson. The authors have
made many experiments with a view of discovering a correct
method for the analysis of mixtures of hydrocarbons with
animal and vegetable fatty matters. Two methods are
suggested. In both the sample is boiled with a solution of
caustic soda in alcohol, which is in one case diluted with
water and then shaken up with ether, to dissolve out the
unsaponitiable matter, leaving the soap in the solution ; in
the other method the alcohol is added to the mixture, and
then some sodium bicarbonate and ignited sand ; the whole
is dried and extracted by petroleum spirit in a Xoxhettes
apparatus. Some analyses are given in the paper. Good
results were obtained.

" On the Sulphides of Copper and a Determination of
their Molecu'ar Weight," by S. U. Pickering. The author
has heated cupric sulphide alone, in a current of hydrogen,
and in a current of carbonic acid, and concludes that the
sulphur is given off in two separate and equal portions at
totally different temperatures : therefore the molecule con-
tains two atoms of sulphur. Hydrogen reduced the sulphide
to the metallic state.

" Chemical Examination of the Buxton Thermal Water,"
by J. C. Thresh. The author has disproved the extraordinary
statements of Playfair and Muspratt that one gallon of this
water contains 206 and 504 cubic inches of nitrogen. The
water really contains 22 98 c.c. of nitrogen per litre. He
points out how the error originated. A complete analysis
of the mineral constituents is given ; amongst them are
molybdic acid, cobalt oxide, &c.

" On Potable Waters, Determination of Total Solids," by
E. J. Mills. This determination is made by carefully noting
the time required by a glass bulb to rise a given distance
through the water.

" On the Estimation of the Value of Zinc Powder, and on
a Gauge for Measuring the Volume of Gases without Calcu-
lation for Temperature and Pressure," by J. Barnes.

Thursday, May 19.

Pi ofessor Roscoe, President, in the chair. The following
papers were read : —

•' On Ammonium Nitrite and the Reaction between Hy-
drogen and Nitric Oxide in the presence of Spongy Plati-
num," by L.T.Wright. The author has repeated the experi-
ments recently made by G. S.Johnson, who stated that the syn-
thesis of ammonia was effected by passing hydrogen and
nitrogen over heated spongy platinum. The author states
that the nitrogen was contamined with nitric oxide. The sub-
stance used by Johnson, ferrous sulphate solution, for free-
ing the nitrogen from nitric oxide, does not completely
absorb that gas. When pure nitrogen, obtained by the
action of potassium hypobromite on ammonium chloride, or
by passing the nitrogen evolved by heating ammonium
nitrite through an alkaline sulphite, was used no ammonia
was formed. Hydrogen reacts upon nitric oxide in the pre-
sence of cold spongy platinum to form ammonium.

" On the Synethetical Production of Urea from Benzol,
Ammonia, and Air by the action of heated platinum," by E.
F. Hcrroun. The author has aspirated air t hrough benzol
and ammonia, and then passed the mixed vapours over a
heated spiral of platinum wire. Urea was formed which was
identified by its reactions and analysis. Acetylene can be
substituted for benzol vapour.

" On a Proposed Volumetric Method for the ready Esti-
mation of a Soluble Sulphite and free Sulphurous Acid or
of free Sulphurous and Sulphuric Acids even in the presence
of Sulphates," by O. V. Pisani.

" On the Identification of Crystallised Alkaloids by the
Microscope and the Use of Polarised Light," by A. Percy
Smith.

" On the Colour Properties and Colour Relations of the
Metals of the Iron-copper Group," by T. Bayley. The author
continues in this paper his investigations as to the quanti-
ties of cobalt and nickel or of cobalt, copper, and iron,
which, when mixed as sulphates, produce colourless grey
solutions.

" On the Effects of the Growth of Plants on the amount
of Matter removed from the Soil by Rain," by E. W.
Prevost.

" On the Action of Sodium on Cinnamic Ether," by F.
Hatton.

THE PRODUCTION OF SALTPETRE IN INDIA.

IN a report on the trade of Calcutta for the past year
reference is made to the above subject. Saltpetre has
always formed an important article of export from the port
of Calcutta ; but in consequence of laws recently enacted by
the Indian Government, it seems probable that the cost of
the article at Calcutta will be so much enhanced as to
interfere with its purchase for foreign markets, especially
for the American market, where it will be unable to com-
pete with nitrate of soda produced in that country. It is
stated that the price of crude saltpetre is advancing every
day as smaller supplies come in from the producing dis-
tricts. Before the new laws were passed saltpetre was
largely collected from producers, each of whom made a very
small quantity, and when collected in sufficient bulk was
sent forward for a market. The production of saltpetre is
roughly described as follows : — The earth dug from the
natural nitre-beds is placed in straining-cloths over a metal
vessel and water poured on it ; lixiviation follows, and the
resultant water in the vessel is then boiled. In this process
a saltpetre deposit is formed on the sides of the vessel ; this
is known as " kutcha " saltpetre, from which, by successive
boilings, the crude and refined saltpetre is made. The water
in the vessel is then turned off; this water still contains
some saltpetre and ordirary salt, and is saved and used over
the lixiviation of fresh soil. The new laws, besides placing
a heavy tax on the production of saltpetre itself, compel
the producer to take the water after the first boiling process
described above, extract all the salt from it, and pay a tax
on the amount thus exfracted. The opinion is expressed
that this law will virtually prohibit the manufacture of salt-
petre save on a very large scale, and will entirely preclude
its production by the poorer people in a small way. Hereto-
fore, it may be remembered, these people have been, in the
aggregate, the largest producers.

AND DRUGGIST.

IP^rscrnalilies.

Mr. T. C. Taylor, from Aylesbury, has taken the
business of the late Mr. John Raynor, of Long Ro w,
Nottingham.

Monsieur Joaquin Marti y Artis, of Smyrna, whose
letters on the opium market in this journal last autumn
attracted much attention, has disposed of his mercantile
business to Messrs. Barry & Co., of that city.

Mr. Stevenson has joined the turn of Messrs. Fletcher &
Fletcher, manufacturing chemists, Holloway, as partner,
and the style will be in future " Fletcher, Fletcher &
Stevenson."

The Lord Chancellor has placed the name of Mr. Arkas
Sapp, chemist and druggist, and a member of the Pharma-
ceutical Society, upon the Commission of the Peace for the
Borough of Basingstoke.

The old-established business of Mr. C. H. Fryer, 18 High
Street, Kidderminster, has been purchased by Mr. Gascoigne.
The valuation was conducted on behalf of the buyer by
Messrs. Berdoe, and of the vendor by Mr. Brett, of Leicester.

Mr. Thirlby, Highcross Street, Leicester, has purchased
the extensive mineral-water plant of Messrs. Butl< r &
Beckett, of the same town, and is carrying this on in addition
to his chemist's business. The valuation was conducted on
behalf of the purchaser by Mr. Brett, of Leicester.

Mitchell d. Condy. —A long-pending dispute between
these whilom partners, affecting the settlement of their
accounts, was decided by the Court of Appeal on May 18.
Mr. Condy appealed from the decision of Vice-Chancellor
Bacon, claiming that on an alleged ambiguity in the deed
of partnership he was entitled to estimate his capital at
more than the sum set down in the deed of partnership.
The Court, however (the Master of the Rolls and Lords
Justices James and Lush), ruled, after hearing Mr. Condy's
counsel only, that the terms of the deed were not ambiguous,
and could not be challenged now, especially as no objection
was made thereto when the decree for the partnership
accounts to be taken was ordered in 1877.

Professor Gamgee. — A good many people in the London
trade will remember the handsome, sanguine, and fertile-
brained Professor John Gamgee. The Professor first
came to the front in the veterinary line, and accom-
plished certain achievements in regard to the cattle
plague, and, we believe, founded a new college, which
completed its career of usefulness some years ago, leaving
but little trace of its usefulness behind except the title
with which its principal was decorated for life. This
means of activity haviog dried up, the Professor next en-
gaged in experiments which resulted in the discovery of
the wonderful antiseptic virtues of chloride of alum'nium,
and on which he based his commercial exploits with chloralum.
That product went through a good many ups and downs, but
for a time at least a great trade was made in it, and the
Professor, we understand, sold out to a military capitalist
when the tide was high, and set his genius to work in
another direction. Financial agency occupied him for a
time, with what success we do not know, but just as we had
forgotten him once more his name reappeared as the in-
ventor of a new process for making ice, and the Glaciarum
on the Thames soon arose as a practical illustration of his
process. We met the Professor about this time, and con-
gratulated him. He was calmly confident and triumphant.
The day of small things had passed away, and marvellous
was to be the progress of the new system. But the Glaci-
arum melted, and the Professor dived again. We thought of
him the other day as we watched the seals at the Brighton
Aquarium, and we were wondering at what part of the
surface he would next show. Recent American papers
answer the problem. " Professor John Gamgee, of London,
now residing at Washington," appears as the inventor of a
" thermo-dynamic engine," otherwise called a za3romotor,
which will economise most of the 90 per cent. of the dynamical
loss incidental to the use of steam. The invention, says the
Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post,
" if it succeeds will be of far greater consequence than any
other invention of modern times." It is proposed to use

ammonia, and at ordinary temperature convert it into
vapour. The expansion is to work the piston, and the
working of the piston is to convert the vapour back into
liquid form again. The liquid is to find its way round
again, and so a perpetual cycle is to be maintained. We
always felt confident that when perpetual motion was dis-
covered Professor John Gamgee would be the hero thereof.

Mr. Henry Lamplough. — A new magazine, entitled
" Celebrities of the Day," has made its appearance, and has-
already lived two, if not three, months. It contains a
number of short biographical sketches of living men. The
sketches are complimentary rather than critijal, and the
grouping is picturesque in its variety, Whig and Tory,,
parson and actor, peer and shopkeeper rubbing shoulders in
its pages. Part 2 contains, with a dozen others, a sketch of
the career of Mr. Lamplough, whose name at least is well
known to every reader of this journal. The following are
the facts given ; our verbal extracts from the magazine
will be indicated by quotation marks : — Mr. Lamplough
was born in 1813 at Bridlington Quay, where his father was
a merchant and captain. Intended at first for the nautical
profession, " young Lamplough 's mind soared to something
higher, and to what was destined to so materially benefit
his fellow-men, namely, the study of chemistry in all its
branches." That is, as far as we can make out, he was
apprenticed to a chemist and druggist, a Mr. S. H. Turner.,
at Scarborough, and no doubt dusting bottles and taking
down shutters was one of the many branches of chemistry
which he set himself to study. But he does not seem to
have taken to the drug trade out of any fear of old
Neptune, for it is recorded of him that, during his
apprenticeship, he, with three men, went through a violent
sea to a ship in distress in an open boat, and saved the whole
crew. He also once bravely plunged into the sea from the
pier and rescued two women who were drowning, for which
deed he was rewarded by suitable local address and presen-
tation. Coming to London, Mr. Lamplough made the
acquaintance of Dr. W. Stevens, who was writing on fever,
cholera, and the blood. Somehow, in association or sepa-
rately, we do not know which, they produced the pyretic
saline. Mr. Lamplough, early in his career, circulated
thousands of pamphlets, the main purpose of which was to
urge the observation of the fact that small-pox treated in
the absence of light left no marks; "advising the public to
remark one sugges tive fact — the great difference of the
parts, covered and u ncovered, during the progress of this
rightly-dreaded disease." It is also claimed for him that
by means of pamphlets and letters to Sir Charles Wood and
to Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Lamplough materially assisted in the
development of the Government savings bank system. "As
may be supposed, such a man as Mr. Lamplough has many
times been requested to sit in Parliament, but he has found
his more legitimate pursuits take all his attention. Mr.
Lamplough has recently met with a severe domestic bereave-
ment. The partner of his life for nearly fifty years has been
taken to her rest. An acute sufferer, in one sense it may
have been a release, but to him who is left behind a loss of
this character is irreparable, and his palatial home at
picturesque Deal is rendered desolate. His chief consola-
tion is in active philanthropy — medical, moral, eleemosynary ;
and when, secundum naUiram, his own summons shall arrive,
no one will have better earned the promised ' Well done ' of
the Bridegroom."

Was not the editor of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph once in
the drug trade ? If so, he had better himself revise the
answers to correspondents on matters affecting that interest.
In his journal of May 24 the following question and answer
appear : —

" Tero." — Is it legal for a non-qualified person t > make and sell ointment,,
pills, and other medicines labelled and setting forth their beneficial effects
with a caution that the medicine is not sold as a cure, but only as a help
or assistance to recovery from such and such diseases ? — No.

Report says that there are sundry and divers persons within
a small radius of the Sheffield Telegraph office infringing the
law thus laid down by the oracle, but no one knows under
what Act to proceed against the offenders.

A COMPULSORY CURRICULUM.

The proposal of a compulsory curriculum for pharmaceutical
students is a long time getting to the front. That a regula-
tion insisting upon it is desirable is the conclusion of the
Committee of the Pharmaceutical Council appointed to con-
sider the question, and their opinion, no doubt, deserves the
highest respect, for it is that of competent and practical
men, who have systematically looked all round the subject.
But so long as they prefer to keep back the arguments
which have convinced them, they must be .prepared to
recognise the gradual formation of opinion out of the
materials available to the non-official inquirer. They re-

commend that a candidate for the Minor, that is, the quali-
fying examination, should be required to prove that since
passing the Preliminary examination he had been engaged
for three years as apprentice or assistant to a registered
chemist and druggist, and had also attended at least
one course of lectures on chemistry, one course on
botany, one on materia medica, and a laboratory
course. That any such regulation would be sanctioned
by the Privy Council is more than doubtful, in the
face of the cogent remarks on this very point which
Dr. Greenhow interpolated in his last annual report on
Pharmaceutical Examinations which we printed in our
April number (page 139). He considered a curriculum " not
required for persons preparing for the Minor qualification-
The examination, when properly conducted, affords a suf-
ficient guarantee of a candidate's fitness for registration
under the Pharmacy Act, and the examination is not at
present so high that a fairly educated young man cannot
very well prepare himself for it during the period of his
apprenticeship." He does not see any immediate necessity,
in the interest of the public, to raise the standard and thus
render a curriculum really necessary. The majority of the
candidates, however, he points out, do already attend some
school before presenting themselves as candidates, and he
concludes that the question of a curriculum is one that may
very well be left to the discretion of the candidates them-
selves.

Dr. Greenhow is the officially-appointed Government
visitor at the pharmaceutical examinations, and he has
attended them and watched them very closely now for some
dozen years. His conservative opinions on this subject are,
therefore, based on exceptional experience, and are enforced
with such simple logic that they cannot fail to convince
most people who consider the subject ; at least, until the
views of experts on the opposite side are made prominent.

As we intimated, this opinion of Dr. Greenhow's will be
sure to considerably influence the Privy Council, and renders
the prospect of a compulsory curriculum, however desirable
it might be, very shadowy. It is by no means in the trade
interest to take Dr. Greenhow's view of the matter. The
more stringent the conditions of entrance to the trade, and
the superiority of those who do enter it, are to the manifest
advantage of those already in. But with all goodwill that
way it is difficult to get up much sympathy with the advo-
cates of the change. No one will doubt the possibility of
an intelligent young man preparing himself for the exa-
mination, if he will, without the aid of a " school of phar-
macy," as stated by Dr. Greenhow. As a matter of general
economics, it is most likely wiser on his part to take advan-
tage of the facilities offered by certain establishments for
the acquirement of certain branches of knowledge. But
the question is whether all candidates shall be compelled to
attend certain schools to be selected by the Pharma-
ceutical Council. The main argument in support of the
proposition will be, we suppose, the old tale of
cram. That "cram" is an evil associated with schools
might be an argument against a curriculum at all, but for
the moment let it stand for those who use it. Their plea is
that students are so neatly posted with knowledge which
they have got on their tongues but have not assimilated
into their brains that examiners, though they know very
well they have such a student before them, are unable to
pierce his armour. They want, therefore, to have assurance
that he has gone through a course from which he has at
least had the chance of gaining sound knowledge. Without
discussing the general topic of Examiners and Cram, which
has been so often repeated, it must be borne in mind that
the pharmaceutical examinations are understood to be con-

ducted by practical men, men who we suppose would scoff
at the idea of not being able to judge of the competence of
an assistant after seeing him actually at work at their own
dispensing-counters. Here, when it becomes their actual
duty to test him in every reasonable manner, is it a fact
that a dozen of them acknowledge themselves beaten 1 The
subjects, we say, are very different from those to which
cramming has been most notoriously applied, and it will be
certainly desirable to hear the examiners' own confessions.

We mention the matter now because there appears to
exist an idea of bringing forward the subject rather in-
directly at the International Pharmaceutical Congress in
London, with the view, we suppose, of shaming us into an
imitation of our eminent Continental visitors' fashions. Such
imitation we would warmly urge if it can be shown that the
fashions are better than ours and suited to our circum-
stances, but it must be remembered that the education
which the Pharmaceutical Council have to examine upon is
not that of chemical or botanical professors, nor that of
public analysts or physicists. They are simply required to
see in the public interest that those who profess to be
chemists and druggists are competent to fulfil the re-
sponsible, but not necessarily highly-scientific, work
devolving upon them.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT.

Amount of Error to be Allowed in Apothecaries'
Weights and Measures.

A circular dated May, 1881, has been issued by the
Standards Office of the Board of Trade, containing sugges-
tions as to the testing of apothecaries' graduated glass
measures and apothecaries' weights.

The first point of importance is the amount of error to be
allowed on the verification of glass measures. This is
dependent to a certain extent on the diameter of the
measure tested. The inspector is therefore advised to
ascertain the diameter of one measure, and hi3 " practised
eye " will then be " a sufficient guide as to other measures
of similar form."

In a measure whose internal diameter is approximately
4 inches an error of 22 minims in excess or deficiency is
to be allowed ; with a diameter of 3A in., 18 m. is to be
allowed ; with 3 in., 14 m. ; with 2\ in., 10 m. ; with 2 in.,
8 m.; with If in., 6 m. ; 1J in., 5 m.; l\ in., 4 m. ; 1 in.,

3 m. ; | in., 2 m.; | in., 1 m. ; § in., f m. ; | in., £ m. ; § in.,

4 m. ; \ in., nil.

Here follows in the circular a very incomprehensible
sentence : — " These amounts would apply only to measures
brought for verification, and not to measures already
stamped or found by an inspector to be in use in shops," &c.
This seems to mean that inspectors are to allow new measures
to be inaccurate to the extent indicated by these amounts,
but that if a measure is actually in use, or if it has been
stamped, they are not to make this allowance ; that is tc-
say, they must be stricter in condemning measures in use
than they are in passing new ones.

What a splendid field for officialism ! An inspector exa-
mines a measure 4 inches in diameter, and finds that it
is 22 minims deficient. The Board of Trade circular advises
him to allow this error, and he therefore passes it as it is a
new one. A month later he finds this measure " in use in a
shop" still 22 minims deficient. The Board of Trade
circular advises him not to make the same allowance for
this measure as he did when he passed it, because it is now
in use. He seizes the measure, and drags the unhappy
chemist before the magistrates.

Of course this is not what the writer of the circular means,

256

[June 15,1881.

but it is what his words imply, and as inspectors have no
other way of getting at his meaning, it is what they will
understand if they ever get to understand the sentence at
all. There is another possible meaning. The amounts
which would apply to measures found in use in shops are
Eot "these" but some others at present unknown to us.
This interpretation would, we fancy, be repudiated as indig-
Eantly as the other.

Another important point in the circular is the suggestion
that the measure is to be " found correctly filled when the
the bottom of the ' meniscus ' or crescent formed by the
surface of the water coincides with the graduation of the
measure. If a measure is greasy or dirty the form of the
meniscus will vary. A minute smear of vaseline, for instance,
on a well-dried glass will almost cause the meniscus to dis,
appear."

It is also suggested that a measure should not have too
many graduations, ten being fixed as a limit for conical
measures for ounces and drachms.

The following amounts of error are recommended to be
allowed on the verification of apothecaries' weights : —

STORING ELECTRICITY.

A GREAT deal of interest has been excited during the past
few weeks concerning a "marvellous box of electricity"
sent from Taris by M. Faure, who had invented its construc-
tion, to Sir Wni. Thomson, of Glasgow, the eminent physi-
cist. The missing link, which when found, will render
electricity fully available to the human race, is a thoroughly
efficient " secondary battery," or accumulator of the fluid
or force, or whatever it may be. There are vast stores of
power running to waste in the world, provided by Nature,
and only waiting for this "secondary battery" to come into
use. Every river as it runs towards the ocean might be a
source of power ; and, as Dr. Siemens not long ago showed,
Niagara threw away power enough to do all the human work
of the North American continent if it could be utilised.
According to some accounts the dream has been realised. A
correspondent of the Times (May 16), signing himself
*' F. I. Ii. S.," told how he had seen the box of electricity
■constructed by M. Faure worked in Paris. He had carried it
from Paris to Glasgow ; and within about 72 hours after
charging, it had been placed in the hands of Sir W. Thom-
son. The box measured about a cubic foot, and contained
a power equivalent to nearly one million foot pounds ! The
writer told how suspiciously it was examined by the Customs
and police authorities, who were probably not reassured
when he explained that it contained only " condensed light-
ning." Sir Wm. Thomson subjected the box to a variety of
trials in his laboratory during three weeks, and then wrote
to the Times declaring that their previous correspondent had
been " by no means too enthusiastic as to its great practical
value." He (Sir Wm. Thomson) sees in it " a realisation of
the most ardently and unceasingly felt scientific aspiration "

of his life, an aspiration which he had scarcely dared to ex-
pect or to hope to live to see realised. Sir Wm. Thomson
finds that a Faure cell loses no appreciable energy within
10 days. It will have to be tested for a longer period before
it it is known how long such a cell will store the force, but,
he says, " I have already ascertained enough regarding its
qualities to make it quite certain that it solves the problem
of storing electric energy in a manner and on a scale useful
for many important practical applications." The first appli-
cation made of it is interesting. Sir Wm. Thomson says : —
" A few days ago my colleague, Professor George Buchanan,
carried away from my laboratory one of the lead cells
(weighing about 18 lb.) in his carriage, and by it ignited the
the thick platinum wire of a galvanic t'craseur and blood-
lessly removed a nmvoid tumour from the tongue of a young
boy in about a minute of time. The operation would have
occupied over ten minutes if performed by the ordinary
chain eeraseur, as it must have been had the Faure cell not
been available, because in the circumstances the surgical
electrician, with his paraphernalia of voltaic battery to be
set up beforehand, would not have been practically admis-
sible."

Sir Wm. Thomson points out that the largest useful appli-
cation awaiting the Faure battery is to do for the electric
light what a water cistern in a house does for an inconstant
water supply. He hopes this will be accomplished within
a minimum of time. At present the electric light is depen-
dent directly on the dynamic engine. A strap slipping may
shoot a street into total darkness. With this battery elec-
tricity may be accumulated through the day and used at
night, and thus a great economy in working the engines
will also be attained. Of course it would be easy to imagine
some of the uses which are suggested by this discovery, if it
should really prove equal to the value set upon it by so high
an authority: but that is not necessary j ust now. A de-
scription of the principle of the discovery is desirable.

Of course a Leyden jar accumulates electricity to a certain
extent, but it only possesses what is called an " instan-
taneous capacity." A secondary battery is one which accumu-
lates currents which flow into it, and can discharge them
gradually. Ever since Volta's discovery at the beginning
of this century experiments have been proceeding with the
object of accomplishing this end, but the battery of M.
Gaston Plante, invented some twenty years ago, was the
first which seemed to promise any real success. His battery
consisted of two sheets of lead rolled spirally and
separated by two sheets of canvass or india rubber and im-
mersed in dilute acid. A strip of lead from the end
of each sheet protrudes from the vessel and receives
the charge, which induces chemical action and results in
coating the sheet of lead at which oxygen was given oil with
a film of peroxide. By reversing the charging until both
electrodes were formed the Plante cell became an accumu-
lator of electric currents. M. Faure's cell is a modification
of Plante's. Two sheets of lead are rolled together in a
spiral, kept apart by a layer of felt, and with a strip of metal
at the end of each sheet. The lead has been previously
coated with minium or red lead, which is a lower oxidised
compound than the dark brown peroxide formed in
Plante's cell. The spirals are placed in acidulated water,
and on being charged the minium on one plate is re-
duced to metallic lead, and on the other is converted to the
peroxide. As the discharge takes place a reverse action
ensues. The box brought from Paris contains four cells,
each of which weighed some 75 lbs. A writer in Nature
(June 2, before the appearance of Sir Wm. Thomson's
letter), commenting on the assertions that had been made,
said, " there can be no doubt that this instrument, though

the accounts of its performances have been grossly exagger-
ated, is an improvement upon that of Plante, "and added a
useful hint for those who read about a power of a million
foot pounds without understanding the term : " Meantime,
let us remind the enthusiast who brought over to England
the million foot pounds of energy stored up in a Faure cell
that he would have imported a dozen times as much stored
energy if he had brought over instead a lump of coal of the
same weight."

AN EXHIBITION OF SCIENTIFIC
INSTRUMENTS.

The annual meeting of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science will this year be held at York,
where, 50 years ago, its first meeting was held. To help to
mark this jubilee year, it has been decided to hold an exhi-
bition of instruments now used in scientific research, and
the tools used in their manufacture, and, side by side with
these, to show the instruments which were in use 50 years
ago. The exhibition will be open only during the week of
meeting, that is, from August 31 to September 8. A museum
sub-committee has been formed, and full information as to
conditions of exhibition will be supplied on application to
the Hon. Secretaries, British Association Offices, 17 Blake
Street, York. No applications will be received later than
July 15.

army doctor named Dr. Carlo fancied him, and betweea
them they started a pharmacy some ten years ago. Artin is
fairly bright, and his natural talents make up for any
deficiency of education. The second pharmacien is likewise
an Armenian, named Boghos Prot. He was formerly a
cobbler at Harpont, where he came in contact with the
American Medical Mission. He became a Protestant, and
Dr. Keynolds, of the mission, assuming autocratic power,
promoted Mr. Prot to be a pharmacien, and established him
at Yan. He dabbles in medicine and attends accouchements.
The third pharmacy was opened quite recently by Dr.
Mihram Vartazarian, who was sent from Constantinople to
assist in the distribution of the relief fund collected on the
occasion of the Armenian famine. He engaged a M.
Ohannes to work a pharmacy there under his own auspices.
Croton oil, bi- carbonate of soda, calomel, quinine, coffee,
tea, sugar, and cognac are mingled together in the establish-
ment, and, according to M. Apery's information, M.
Ohannes scarcely knows one from the other.

The drugs, as a rule, are supplied to the pharmaciens by
the drug merchants of the bazaars, and are generally
falsified.

PHARMACY IN ASIA MINOR.

M. Pierre Apery, in the journal of the Pharmaceutical
Society of Constantinople, gives some particulars of the
condition of pharmacy in Trebizonde, Erzeroum, and Van.
The first-named city, with a population of 45,000, contains
one good pharmacy, that of M. Charalambos Garofalides,
which is provided with a laboratory, is frequented by the
physicians of the place, and seems to satisfy the most
fastidious requirements. Dr. Spatharo has a smaller
pharmacy, not so well kept ; a third is mainly a grocery
store, and the fourth and last is somewhat of a curiosity. It
belongs to a Monsieur Marengo, who, besides being phar-
macien, is dragoman to the English Consulate, dentist,
Spanish Vice-consul, physician, and professor of languages.
Medicines and poisons are likewise sold by many other
shops of all kinds, with perfect disregard of the law.

Erzeroum has a population of 40,000, and the shop-
keepers there also offend against the pharmacy laws of the
Ottoman Empire. Dr. Lavini, an Italian physician, has the
chief pharmacy. He has been an army doctor, and as he
receives some Italian scientific journals, and seems to keep
most of the new remedies, he is favourably regarded by the
critic. But there are a few things against him. He sells
matches, preserved foods, hams, and other domestic com-
modities. Another Italian, Giovanni Bicci, and an Armenian,
named Onzonnian Agop, keep the other two pharmacies of
the town. The specialty of the latter is sausages and
lastourna, or dried salt beef, for which he is rather noted.

At Van (20,000 inhabitants) there are three pharmacies.
The chief one is the property of an Armenian named Artin
Vahonmian. This gentleman acquired the rudiments of his
profession in one of the popular barbers' shops of Constanti-
nople. The Turkish barber is an institution. You stroll
into his shop and take a seat. Coffee is brought to you;
and, when you are disposed, and the proprietor is at leisure,
you can have a wound dressed, a tooth drawn, your veins
tapped, your beard shaved, or your hair clipped. Artin was
first an assistant in one of these places, and afterwards owner
of one. About ten years ago he went home to Van, and got
some employment as dentist and dresser in the army. An

THE SOCIETY OF CHEMICAL
INDUSTRY.

The Society of Chemical Industry, whose formation ws
have already chronicled, puts forth indications of vigorous
life, as will be seen by the advertisement of the first general
meeting which we publish this month. The meeting will
extend over Tuesday and Wednesday, the 28th and 29th of
this present month, and will include an address from the
President (Professor Koscoe), and papers on " Eecent Legis-
lation on Noxious Gases," by Mr. Muspratt ; on " Coal Ga3
for Heating Purposes," by Dr. Siemens ; " The Brewing of
Lager Beer,"' by Professor Graham ; " Mechanical Furnaces,"
by Mr. Mactear ; " The Patent Laws and Chemical Inven-
tions," by Mr. Mond, and other papers. It is likely that
many men of eminent authority will take part in discussing
the subjects brought forward, and it may be expected that
really practical information will be contributed. A dinner
on the Tuesday evening will relieve the more serious
labours of the session.

THE FEEDING-BOTTLE AND ITS
DANGERS.

The newly-formed Paris Municipal Laboratory has to
justify its existence, and will no doubt do so if it can
establish the truth of the facts stated in the following para-
graph. Some feeding-bottles having a fetid odour were
lately brought by Dr. Du Mesnil from a creche to the Paris
Municipal Laboratory for examination. M. Fauvel found
that the milk remaining in all smelt badly, was acid, and
half-coagulated ; the globules were deformed, and numerous
very lively bacteria, along with some vibrions, were present.
On cutting open the caoutchouc tube throughout its length,
coagulated milk with small organisms was met with ; but a
still more important fact was the presence in the nipple of
a mass of vegetation of cryptogamic nature. Sown in whey,
this developed considerably in a few days. A visitation of
all the creches was arranged by the police and medical
authorities, and the following was the result : — Of 31 feed-
ing-bottles examined in 10 creches, 28 contained, in the-
nipple, the caoutchouc tube, and in some cases in the glass
bottle, vegetations of the kind indicated, as well as bacteria,.
&c. Several that had been washed carefully, and were con-
sidered ready for use, still contained these cryptogams. Two
feeding-bottles in a very bad state were found to contain

258

pus and blood corpuscles ; the children who had used thein
had injuries in the cavity of the mouth. It is thus probable
that saliva enters the feeding-bottle, and its ferments are
added to those of the milk. The acidity of the milk is
attributed by M. Fauvel to the bacteria present. If further
investigation proves that the observations above -recorded
are generally accurate, it will be desirable to recommend the
frequent use of Condy's fluid, or some such agent, where-
with to wash out the bottles and tubes.

THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY
OF VICTORIA.

Mr. C. R. Blackett has been President of this Society
for the past three years. This year he retires, and Mr. Wm.
Bowen has been elected in his place. Mr. H. Shillinglaw
has accepted for another year the office of honorary secre-
tary. The Council have for some time past sought to esta-
blish sufficient means for pharmaceutical education, and to
this end they have endeavoured, first, to obtain a grant of
land for the purpose of erecting a suitable building, with
laboratories, lecture-hall, museum, and offices, or, failing
that, they have asked the Melbourne University to found a
chair of pharmacy. They have not secured either of these
results ; but they appear to have made an excellent arrange-
ment with the trustees of the Technological Museum.
Courses of elementary and practical chemistry, botany,
materia medica, and pharmacy will be at once established.
The ltcture-hall of the museum and its laboratories and
apparatus will be available. Lecturers will be nominated
by the Pharmacy Board, under whose guidance, in connec-
tion with the scientific superintendent of the museum, Mr.
J. Cosmo Newbery, the institute will be carried on. The
intention is expressed (o " render our new institution, in its
aspirations and design, in every respect identical with that
of the School of Pharmacy of the Pharmaceutical Society of
Great Britain."

SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE.

Monsieur Pasteur has lately accomplished a remarkable
triumph as the result of a thoroughly scientific investigation
into the cause of a disease which has occasioned much alarm
among the stock-breeders of France. The disease is known
by the name of " eharbon," and has particularly attacked
eheep, to such an extent that it is estimated to have caused
injury to the amount of several million francs a year. M.
Pasteur's investigation led him to the conclusion that the
malady is communicated by infected grass. The grass,
however, is only infected where animals that have died of
the disease have been buried. In these spots worms, after
having fed on the diseased carcase, rise through the soil to
the surface, collect round the roots of plants, are swallowed
by the animals, and thus communicate to them the deadly
virus. M. Pasteur has collected these worms. He separated
the virus, and fully examined it, ultimately obtaining it in
all conditions, from the most harmless to the virulent state.
He then set up the theory that by inoculation the animals
might be protected from " eharbon." These theories, con-
ceived in the laboratory, discussed before the Academy of
1M edicine, and warmly combatted, have lately been tested
by practical experiments. On May 5 M. Rossignol's farm
and CO sheep were placed at M. Pasteur's disposal. Ten of
these sheep were left untouched, in order that they might
later on serve for comparison. Of the remaining 50, 25
were marked with a hole in their ears and were inoculated,
the first time on May 5 and the second on the 17th. On
May 31 none of the inoculated sheep had lost fat, or gaiety,
or appetite. On May 31 the 50 sheep were taken without

distinction and inoculated with the strongest virus. M.
Pasteur predicted that by June 2 the 25 sheep not inoculated
would be dead, and that the inoculated animals would show
no symptoms of sickness. On that date, therefore, a num-
ber of eminent spectators came together to witness the re-
sult. Things turned out as M. Pasteur had foretold. At
2 o'clock 23 of the sheep which had been inoculated were
dead. At 3 o'clock died the twenty-fourth, and the twenty-
fifth an hour later. The 25 inoculated animals were sound,
and frolicked and gave signs of perfect health. Only one
of the 25 inoculated animals had been feverish, but the
fever had entirely disappeared. It was caused by the
animal having designedly been inoculated with too strong
a dose of the virus. The 25 carcases were buried in a fixed
spot, and on the infected grass which will grow over it
experiments are to be made with the inoculated and non-
inoculated sheep. But the experiment is complete for all
practical purposes, and M. Pasteur has thus been able by
the exercise of his remarkable scientific skill to confer on
his country a benefit, the capital value of which is at once
calculable, and would amount, no doubt, to some millions
of pounds sterling.

Toothache.

"Cassell's Family Physician," Part 17, contains an
article on " Toothache," from which we extract some items
as to treatment :—

For Application.

A few drops of chloroform on cotton-wool inserted into the hollow of a
decayed aching tooth often gives permanent relief, but sometimes when
the anajsthetic effect has passed away the pain is aggravated, the applica-
tion having irritated the inflamed pulp. A better plan is to hold over the
hollow tooth a piece of lint moistened with chloroform, so that the vapour
only comes in contact with the interior of the tooth. The preparation
sold as camphorated chloroform often proves useful. A mixture of equal
parts of chloroform and laudanum, or of chloroform and creasote, con-
stitutes an excellent application.

Creasote may nearly always be employed with a fair hope of success. It
may be mixed with an equal quantity of chloroform, or of laudanum, or
with tannin. Laudanum, either alone or mixed with tannin or creasote,
and inserted into the cavity of the hollow tooth, enjoys a high and well-
merited reputation.

For cases in which the pulp is exposed and inflamed, a jelly is made by
melting in a test-tube some crystallised carbolic acid, and then adding an
equal quantity of collodion. A small quantity is placed on cotton-wool
and inserted into the hollow painful tooth. It may at first somewhat
aggravate the pain, but in a few seconds it diminishes and soon abolishes
it. Care should be taken not to let it come in contact with the inside of
the cheek, for, as we can testify from personal experience, it would give
rise to considerable pain and smarting.

When there is a large hollow, and the pain is severe, a good application
is a mixture of camphor and opium, of each 1 grain, made into a paste,
with which the cavity should be filled, it having been previously dried by
means of lint or cotton- wool.

When equal parts of chloral or powdered camphor are rubbed up together,
they form a syrupy liquid. Thi3 will sometimes succeed in relieving tooth-

259

ache even when applied externally ; but it is more likely to afford relief
when introduced into the cavity of the decayed tooth on cotton-wool.

A plug of lint dipped in sulphurous acid, and inserted in the hollow tooth,
will often give immediate relief.

For Internal Administration.
Grey powder proves useful in many forms of toothache, and is regarded
by many as one of the best remedies for this complaint. It is used for
toothache resulting from a decayed tooth. It proves of most value when
the pain is gnawing, tearing, or boring in character, and is aggravated by
eating, and also at night in bed, but is temporarily relieved by cold water.
It is of value when the pain affects the entire side of the face extending
upwards to the head, and backwards to the ears. It is especially indicated
when the toothache is accompanied by an increased flow of saliva, and by
profuse perspiration in bed, which fails to afford relief. In many cases it
is a good plan to introduce a small quantity of grey powder, of course not
mixed with sugar, into tha hollow of the decayed tooth.

Aconite is useful in toothache arising from cold. It is especially indi-
cated when the pain is sharp and stinging, and is relieved by cold water.
This form of toothache i3 usually accompanied by heat of the face and
chilliness. A drop of the tincture of aconite should be taken every ten
minutes.

Belladonna is found to do best when there are shooting, throbbing pains
affecting several teeth on one side, so that it is impossible to say exactly
which tooth it is that is aching. This form of toothache not unfrequently
shifts from place to place, and it is usually increased by both hot and cold
applications. It is often accompanied by determination of blood to the
bead, flushed face, excessive sensitiveness to external impressions, such as
noise or light, and by dryness of the mouth, and mental confusi on. A
drop of the tincture of belladonna should be taken every ten minutes.

Arsenic is used when the pain is grinding in character, when it is in-
creased by touching the affected tooth, or by lying on the painful side.
This form of toothache is usually increased by rest and by cold, but is
relieved by moving about, and by the application of warmth. Arsenic is
also indicated when the pains are jerking in character, or when they occur
hiefly, or are much aggravated, at night. It usually proves of benefit
when the sufferer is much exhausted by the pain.

Bryony is recommended when the pain is of a screwing' character, when
it is worse from warmth, is momentarily relieved by cold water, and more
permanently by walking in the open air.

Nux vomica is found to be useful for darting pain in the teeth, and for
toothache of a boring or gnawing character, especially when it comes on
after dinner. A drop of the tincture of nux vomica may be taken every
ten minutes for an hour.

Phosphorus should be given for tearing, shooting pains, worse in the
open air, or after taking warm food. It is especially indicated when, in
addition to decayed teeth, there are gum-boils.

Nitro-glyceiine, or glonoine, is the remedy for pulsating toothache,
accompanied by headache. A teaspoonful of the 1 per cent, solution
should be added to a pint of water, aud of this a teaspoonful may be taken
every ten minutes till relief is obtained. It is a most valuable remedy.

Pulsatilla does good in cases where the pain comes on as soon as any-
thing is taken into the mouth. The pain which is relieved by this remedy
is worse in the evening, at night, and after the application of warmth.

Chamomile tea is indicated when the violent paroxysms of toothache
come on from exposure to z. draught, or from a sudden check to the
perspiration.

Arnica is the remedy for pain in the teeth caused by mechanical violence.
It does well in throbbing toothache, and in pain in the teeth as if they
were being scraped. The tincture of arnica should be given in drop doses
every ten minutes.

Chamomile is the remedy for the irritation produced in children by
teething.

Gelseminum lias been highly recommended for toothache. It is un-
doubtedly a very valuable remedy, but we are inclined to think that it
does not do much good in pure toothache. It is the neuralgia arising from
decayed teeth that it cures, and in these cases we believe that it stands un-
rivalled. Very frequently the pain of the decayed tooth and the neuralgia
are experienced at the same time. If now gelseminum be given it will
generally cure the neuralgia, but leave the toothache unaffected. This, of
course, is an advantage by no means to be despised, for neuralgia is usually
a much more obstinate complaint than toothache. Ten-drop doses of the
tincture may be taken every hour for three or four hours, or Pr. 41 may be
employed.

Another excellent remedy for neuralgia arising from a decayed tooth is
croton chloral. It should be given dissolved in water in five-grain doses
every four hours.

■When toothache resists every other means of treatment we may have to
resort to a hypodermic injection of morphia, but this is seldom necessary.

Prescriptions for most of the medicines recommended are
to appear in Part 19 of the Family Physician.

The Union Medicate (quoted in the Medical Times and
Gazette) states that there are 110 journals published in
Paris connected with medicine and pharmacy. There is
either a misprint here, or else the word journal is used with
a rather vague significance.

In an article in the Fortnightly Review on " Hindoo
Households," Dr. Knighton tells us that it is a general
Hindoo belief that it is the use of soda water which makes
the English so strong. The effervescence of the liquid and
its power to drive out the cork cause it to be regarded as a
most potent beverage.

Spon's " Encyclopaedia of the Industrial Arts," Part XXL,
contains a section on " Narcotics," including details on the
cultivation and trade in opium in Turkey, Persia, India, and
elsewhere. The cultivatiou of tobacco is also described.
Under coca the writer remarks that the name is a corrup-
tion of the Aymara Indian word " khoka," which latter might
well be resuscitated in order to avoid the confusion now
often made between this narcotic substance and the cocoa
(cacao) and coco (coker-) nut respectively.

We have received from Messrs. Christy & Co. No. 4 of
"New Commercial Plants and Drugs," by Thomas Christy,
F.L.S. There is an admirable combination of commercial
and scientific enterprise in this publication. The first place
in the present issue, s again given to rubbers. Fodder
plants are represented by " Improved Buckwheat," a variety
combining the good qualities of the common and Tartarian.
Sweet cayenne pepper — the subject of Mr. Greenish's
paper at the last conference — is described, and four varieties
are figured. Japanese and Chinese peppermint plant, and
the palm, JRapJiia Ruffia, are the two remaining commercial
plants treated. New drugs occupy the second and larger
part of the pamphlet. Most of the drugs recently intro-
duced are here treated in more or less detail, and some
interesting new facts are given concerning many of them.

Quinine from Coal-tar. —There is considerable interest
taken in trade circles over the report that a Liberty Street
firm have applied for a patent for a process to manufacture
sulphate of quinine trom coal- tar. It is stated that the firm have
been interested with a chemist to accomplish this for several
years, and with favourable results. The firm in question
are large importers of aniline colours, which, perhaps, ex-

Brows Windsor Soap.

Ox June 1, 2, and 3, the actions of Benbow Low and Low
v. Benbow came before Vice-Chancellor Bacon, at Lincoln's
Inn. Mr. Aston, Q.C. (with him Mr. Willis Band), in open-
ing the case, stated that the plaintiffs in the first action
carried on business as soap-makers at 12 Little Britain, and
they sought to restrain the defendants, who carry on the
business of soap-makers at 330 Strand, from interfering with
the plaintiffs in the exercise of their right to manufacture
and sell " Low's highly-perfumed brown Windsor soap." For
many years prior to 1847, one Robert Low the elder, having
carried on business as a wholesale and retail perfumer and
soap manufacturer, at 330 Strand, in partnership with
Robert Low the younger, in 1817 sold his share in the busi-
ness to George Henry Benbow, and the partnership so formed
was carried on until the year 1862. The firm of Low, Son
<fc Haydon acquired great reputation for a soap known to the
trade and the public as " Low's highly-perfumed brown
Windsor soap." After the expiration of the partnership,
Benbow continued to manufacture and sell the soap, and in
order to distinguish their manufacture, they used a label
which they had sought to register as a trade-mark. The
defendants had registered their label as a trade-mark, and
the question was whether or no at the dissolution of the
partnership Messrs. Benbow acquired the right which
they had continued to exercise down to the present time,
and if they did not under the partnership acquire the right,
had they not by their continued user from that time acquired
the right to use the label as a trade-mark. The defendants
denied the right of the plaintiffs to the use of the label,
and by their action asked for damages sustained by
them from the use of the label by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff, Henry Benbow, being examined m support ot this
case, stated that in 1862 he commenced to manufacture the.
same kind of soap as had been made by the old firm in the
Strand, and from time to time complaint was made by the
defendants regarding the sale of Low's brown Windsor soap,
but he still went on with the sale. In consequence of the de-
fendants interfering with his American trade the present
action was commenced. The witness, in cross-examination,
admitted that he had not sold any soap for export under the
name of " Low's brown Windsor " in 1S76 or 1877, and only
one lot in 1878. In re-examination, witness stated that the
reason the trade fell off in 1876 and 1877 was because the
defendants had intimidated the customers. Mr. John
Thompson, a member of the firm of Maw, Son i: Thompson,
deposed to being present when the plaintiff solicited orders
from American firms for " Low's brown Windsor soap."
Cross-examined : If I received an order for " Low's brown
Windsor soap '' I should go to the defendants for it. A file
of the yen; York Herald, brought from the library of the
British Museum, proved that the plaintiff had advertised
the soap as " Low's brown Windsor soap." Mr. Francis
Benbow stated that he was in partnership with his brother,
and that they had manufactured Low's brown Windsor soap
since the vear 1862.

Mr. W. W. Karslake, Q.C. (with him Mr. Byrne), for the
defendants, contended that the plaintiff upon the dis-
solution of the partnership, having been paid between
4,000'. and 5,000?. as his share of the business, assigned
the whole of the wrappers and labels to the defendants,
and consequently had no further right to use the title now
in question. It was not until the spring of 1863 that the
defendants learned that their old friend and partner was
making use of the labels in the American market. Imme-
diately this came to their knowledge they took counsel's
opinion, and were advised to file a bill for an injunction.
Not wishing to rush into litigation, they communicated with

the plaintiff, who at once ceased to sell soap under the name
of " Low's highly - perfumed brown Windsor soap." Mr.
Lewis E. Howard, a member of the firm of Howard
Brothers k. Reed, of New York, deposed that his firm were
the sole agents of the defendants for the sale of the soap in
the United States, and had special instructions to look after
imitations. Several actions had been brought against
infringers, and these cases had all been decided in favour of
Messrs. Low. Mr. Robert Thomas Haydon stated that pre-
viously to 1878 it did not come to his knowledge that
Messrs. Benbow were selling " Low's highly-perfumed
brown Windsor soap." Mr. Alfred Low also gave evidence
to the effect that he did not know that the plaintiff was
offering soap under the name complained of for sale until
1S7S. He had heard it mentioned in 1863, and tried to find
a case so that he might take proceedings, but was unable to
do so. Evidence was also given by different merchants that
they had never heard of Benbow's " Low's highly-perfumed
soap."

On June 3 the Lord Chancellor delivered judgment in
favour of plaintiff, with costs. He said that on the dissolu-
tion of the partnership each party had a right to use the
term " Low's highly-perfumed Windsor soap." Having
gone through the facts of the case, his Lordship said the
plaintiff was, in his opinion, entitled to a declaration that
he had a right to use the term above mentioned, and also to
use the labels, not, of course, intimating or asserting that
Low was the actual manufacturer; and the counter-claim of
Messrs. Low must be dismissed. He was also of opinion
that the plaintiff was entitled to an order that the trade-
mark should be registered, notwithstanding the same mark
had also been registered by the defendants.

BANKRUPTCIES AND LIQUIDATION'S.

R. S. Campbell, Wholesale Chemist, St. Helens,
Lancashire.

This case was brought before the Chief Judge, Sir J. Bacon,
on May 30, upon the hearing of an appeal from the Liver-
pool County Court. The trustee of the estate had applied
to the County Court Judge for an order setting aside a bill
of sale dated November 27, 1879, made by the bankrupt in
favour of Mr. Joseph Massey, solicitor, St. Helens, upon the
following grounds: — (1) That the deed did not truly set out
the consideration for which it was given ; (2) that it was a
fraudulent preference, and given without valid or sufficient
consideration ; (3) that prior to the date of the deed the
bankrupt had committed one or more acts of bankruptcy, of
which Mr. Massey had notice ; and, lastly, that the deed
was itself an act of bankruptcy. The application having
been refused by the County Court Judge, the trustee
appealed. Mr. F. Knight appeared in support of the appeal,
and Mr. Winslow, Q.C, and Mr. McConkey on behalf of the
respondent. After hearing the evidence and the arguments
of counsel, Sir J. Bacon delivered judgment. He said he
had to consider whether the bill of sale was an act of bank-
ruptcy of which the trustee, who was the present appellant,
could avail himself. In June, 1879, the bankrupt filed a
petition for liquidation, and resolutions for the acceptance
of a composition of 4*. in the pound were passed and
registered. If the necessary conditions had been complied
with he would have been restored to his property, but
before he was entitled to his discharge he had to pay
the costs of his solicitor, Mr. Massey, and of Mr. Bolland,
the receiver. Mr. Bolland having waited, as he thought, an
unreasonable time for payment, issued a writ for his
charges, and an arrangement was come to by which Mr.
Massey, the solicitor, was to pay off Mr. Bollard, and take a
bill of sale from the bankrupt as security for the money so
paid, as well as for the amount of his own charges, Mr.
Massey also making the bankrupt an advance of 101. to
assist him in his business. Was there anything unreason-
able in such an arrangement 1 The property was assigned
to Mr. Massey, and he took possession under his bill of sale.
In his (the chief judge's) opinion there was a distinct and
bond-tide intention not to delay the creditors, but to enable
the debtor to carry on his business and pay his creditors,
which might have been accomplished if he had not been

addicted to habits of intemperance. It had not been shown
that the bill of sale was an act of bankruptcy available for
adjudication, and it seemed that, on possession being
taken, everything was done to realise the business satis-
factorily. He held that the bill of sale was perfectly valid
in all respects, and that the County Court Judge could not
have dealt with the subject in any other way than he had
done. The appeal was accordingly dismissed with costs.

J. A. Ferris, Chemist and Druggist, Buckingham Palace

Road and Victoria Square.
The debtor, carrying on business under the style of " Ferris
& Co.," and described also as a surgeon, has filed a petition
for liquidation, and his affairs were brought before Mr.
Registrar Brougham on May 19. Mr. McLeod (of the
firm of Hadden, Woodward & McLeod) applied for the
appointment of Mr. W. H. G. Bodle, of 26 Buckingham
Palace Road, chemist and druggist, as receiver and manager
of the estate, also for an injunction restraining proceedings
at the suit of Messrs. W. H. Smith & Son, 186 Strand, for the
recovery of 112Z. 10*., and of Mr. C. Fish, of Cambridge
Wharf, Pimlico, for 406Z. lis. lOd. The liabilities were
estimated at. 2,5007., and assets at about a like amount. The
debtor deposed that Mr. Bodle had acted as his manager for
about 13 months, and was duly qualified to carry on the
business. His Honour appointed Mr. Bodle to the office of
receiver, and granted an injunction. The following were
returned as creditors, secured and unsecured : —

Dissolving Salicylic Acid.

Dr. Squibb, iu Gaillard's Medical Journal, says : — " There
is no way known to me whereby salicylic acid can be dis-
solved in water to any useful strength, and kept as free
acid. When borax is used, a solution of any desired strength
may be made. But a double salt is said to be formed, and
therefore it is not a solution of the acid. The best plan
that I know for getting the effect of the free acid is to take
the amount of water and of acid desired, and then add
bicarbonate of soda until solution is effected. This makes
the solution of the acid in a solution of sodium salicylate."

ASPIDOSPERMINE.

This alkaloid, which a few months ago was in great demand,
has almost sunk into oblivion, which is probably due to the
difficulty of preparing it in a state of purity, the quebracho
bark containing it in only very small quantities. (See this
Journal, February, 1881, page 82.) The authors consider
that the citrates and sulphates of aspidosperminc, which
have an extremely bitter taste, deserve more attention than
the alkaloid itself, which is very difficultly soluble in water,
and has hardly any taste at all. — Gchc .)'' Co.'s Trade Circular

Artificial Indigo.

The Baden Aniline and Soda Works have obtained the pre-
rogative of manufacturing this article according to Professor
Baeyer's patent, and are indefatigably occupied in en-
deavouring to render its production on a large scale an
industrial possibility. It appears that, on the occasion of
its maiden appearance in the market, artificial indigo will
have the character of a yellowish-white powder, in which
form the authors consider it will in the first instance meet
with opposition, but they have no doubt that the new tar
product will in the course of a reasonable time compete suc-
cessfully with natural indigo. — Gehe Co.'s Trade Circular

Compounds op the Pyrrol Group.*

G. L. Ciamician, of Rome, considers that the Pyrrol group
may be compared with the Benzol group. He has found
that homopyrrol, which, as is known, occurs in bone oil, is a
mixture of two isomeric compounds, the one boiling at a
temperature between 140° C. to 114° C, the other between
145° C. to 148° C.

Crystalline Alkaloids op certain Oil Seeds.!
H. RlTTHAUSEN has, by treating the oleaginous seeds of a
number of plants with solutions of salt of different densities
and of different degrees of strength, obtained from them
alkaloids in a crystallisable form.

Commercial Oil of Wine.*

From the researches of Ernst C. Hartwig, it appears that
the substance technically known by the name of " oil of
wine " is not, as is generally supposed, a mixture of so-
called heavy and light oil of wine, but is a mixture of a
number of compounds of a more or less complicated nature,
amongst which the author has found hydrocarbons, ethers,
and ketones.

A New Group of Volatile Organic Bases.

According to a preliminary notice sent to the Beriehte der
deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft, May 23, 1881, Victor
Meyer and F. P. Treadwell, by reducing nitrosoketones with
sodium amalgam, or tin and hydrochloric acid, have obtained
a group of well-characterised non-oxygenous bases of the
composition C1,H211.,N._,, to which they have given the name
ketines. They all distil without decomposition, and form
with water, like chloral, beautiful crystalline compounds.

The authors reserve a fuller account of this group for a
future paper.

LUPININE.f

Georg Baumert has examined lupiuine very carefully, and
found that none of the formulas usually assigned to it are
correct, the alkaloid having in reality a composition repre-
sented by the formula C^H^N^O,.

In a pure state lupinine forms beautiful white rhombic
crystals of a fruity odour and a very bitter taste. They melt
at 67° C. to 68° C. Heated in a current of hydrogen to
255° C. to 257° O, lupinine distils over unaltered. Lupi-
nine expels ammonia from its salts, and at a high temperature
becomes easily oxidised.

A Delicate Test for Caustic Alkalies.}:

Caustic alkalies, especially ammonia, produce in solutions
of tannic acid a colouration varying from red to reddish
brown, which after some time passes into a dirty green.
The reaction is so delicate that an aqueous solution of
caustic potash or ammonia, in the proportion of 1 part
alkali to 1,000,000 parts water, yields a perceptible coloura-
tion with a solution of tannic acid. A solution so much
diluted of this kind gives no reaction with litmus, and the
author of this paper — W. Bachmann — therefore propose.^ the
employment of tannic acid for detecting traces of caustic
alkalies.

The normal and acid salts of the alkalies give no reaction
with tannic acid.

Concentrated Ethereal Oils. ||

Our knowledge of the ethereal oils is still very deficient
in many particulars. Only a few, like bitter-almond, winter-
green, and thyme oils, have been sufficiently studied to make
us acquainted with the compounds of which they consist, their
chemical constitution, and their rational formula;. Of
others only the acidulous constituents and the stearoptens
which crystallise out have been accurately investigated.
Godeffroy has recently done this for berg iptcn. Some
essential oils, like turpentine, juniper, lemon and orange
peel oils, are said to contain no acid constituents. These
oils, with the exception of turpentine oil, have been only
very slightly examined, and we know little more than the
empirical formula of the hydrocarbon C10HIG, which is com-
mon to them all. Even the latest experiments of Fliickiger
and Power on the non-acid constituents of peppermint oil
tell us little more than these substances, though melting at
different temperatures, still correspond to the previously-
determined empirical formula or to multiples of it. In oils
distinguished as acidulous the constituent which is the
aromatic principle, and which gives the oil its value, is
commonly that in which the acid is found.

But in at least two oils which have hitherto been re-
garded as free from acid I have proved that the aroma and

flavour are due to an acid constituent, and that this sub-
stance can be separated from the bulk of the oil. These
facts came out in an investigation of patent lemon and
patent orange-peel oils, two of the so-called patent ethereal
oils made by Heinrich Haensel, of Pirna. These are called
" patent " because the apparatus in which they are prepared
has been patented. " Concentrated ethereal oils " would
probably be a better title, and the properties of the oils
would thoroughly justify it.

Both these essential oils have a far higher specific gravity
than the corresponding ordinary oils, which vary between
•850 and -860 ; patent lemon, sp. gr. -9003 ; patent orange
peel, 9090.

Metallic sodium added to the oils causes chemical action,
which oxidises the sodium, the action being specially quick
and abundant with the lemon oils. Both oils, therefore,
contain acids.

In their other properties these oils show that they differ
much from the ordinary oils of orange peel and lemon. They
mix in all proportions with alcohol (of 88 per cent, by
volume), and even give, with 60 to 65 parts of 70 per cent,
alcohol, a perfectly clear, and, with double the quantity of
60 per cent, alcohol, a slightly turbid solution. They
neither become heated nor give off vapour when mixed with
iodine.

The odour and flavour of these oils is extraordinarily
intense, indeed, the ordinary oils cannot be compared with
them. It is this which specially distinguishes them and
suggests for them the name of " concentrated," while it
proves that the aroma of the oil is due to its acid constitu-
ents, which in the ordinary oil are present in such small
quantities that they have been overlooked hitherto by all
investigators. According to the makers, the concentrated
are equal to 30 times their bulk of the ordinary oils.

Ethereal Castor Oil.

M. Prodam, a pharmacien of Fiume (Austria), has ob-
tained from the castor seeds, by treating them with ether,
not only the oil which would not be purgative by itself,
unless it contained some of the active principle known as
ricinine, but his solution also contains this principle in
larger proportion. He is thus able to get the purgative
effect of the oil by a smaller dose, and without the disagree-
able taste of the ordinary oil. His preparation has further
I the advantage of being miscible, in any proportion, with
water, coffee, or milk.

Chinamine.

In Liebig's "Annalen der Chemie," May 7, 1881, O. Hesse
gives as the result of his researches on the subject the fol-
lowing description of chinamine : —

Occurrence. — Chinamine was first obtained by O. Hesse,
i from the bark of cinchona succirubra, cultivated in British
India ; later on by de Vrij, from a similar bark of Kungbee ;
then by Howard, from the bark of a hybrid of cinchona
succirubra and c. calisaya. Improved methods for testing
the presence of the alkaloid have proved its presence in a
number of other barks, and especially in that of c. calisaya
var. Ledgeriana.

Preparation.— The. raw mother liquor from sulphate of
quinine is treated respectively with sodio potassic tartrate
(seignette salt) and ammonia to remove all alkaloids pre-
cipitable by these re-agents ; the precipitates are then
washed with ether, and the washings mixed with acetic
acid. This solution is then neutralised, and, after having
been gently heated, mixed with potassium sulphocyanate
until upon cooling no more cinchonine can be detected.
The clear solution is then precipitated with a solution of
caustic soda, and the resinous precipitate dissolved in a
sufficient quantity of alcohol of 80 per cent., whereupon
chinamine crystallises out on cooling, and is purified by
treatment with animal charcoal and re-cn-stallisation from
dilute alcohol.

Composition.—Clim&mme ma)- be represented by the
formula C19H24N.,02.

Properties. — Chinamine is easily soluble in ether, strong-
alcohol, and petroleum ether, the solutions exhibiting an
alkaline reaction. It crystallises from solutions cf the kind

in long delicate prisms, resembling asbestos, without water
of crystallisation. It is, however, but very slightly soluble
in dilute alcohol, and is insoluble in water. Even solutions
of the caustic alkalies fail to dissolve the base, but precipi-
tate it from solutions of its salt in the crystalline form.

Chinamine readily forms salts, which have a bitter taste,
although the pure base is not perceptibly bitter.

Chinamine melts at 172° C, and, if the heating is but of
short duration, crystallises upon cooling. If, however, the
heating is protracted, it turns brown, and assumes upon
cooling an amorphous condition.

Unlike quinine, the dilute acid solutions of chinamine
salts show no fluorescence. Compared with the other
known alkaloids occurring in cinchona bark, chinamine
mostly resembles paytine.

Salts. — Chinamine is a monacid base, and forms, accord-
ingly, only neutral and monacid salts. The latter are
amorphous, and very unstable.

Movement in Plants.
A fine example of the value of united work may be seen
in the Darwin family, in which household science and home
influences dwell most happily together. The father devotes
some years to minute botanical investigation : one son illus-
trates the resulting book, and the other turns editor and
corrects the proofs. Just recently we have an elaborate
treatise, intelligible only to advanced students of nature, on
" The Power of Movement in Plants," written by the elder
Darwin. Francis assists throughout, and also reads a paper
before the Linnean Society in confirmation of the theory
there propounded. This elaborate contribution is on " The
Power Possessed by Leaves of Placing Themselves at Eight
Angles to the Direction of Incident Light." Various experi-
ments were made with plants, specially with beans ( Vicia
fdba), vegetable marrow (Cucuriitaovifera), plantain {Plan-
tago media'), and cherries, the result of which was, in the
main, to show that the behaviour noticed was due to a
specialised sensitiveness to light, called diaheliotropism,
which is able to regulate or govern the action of other ex-
ternal forces, such as gravitation, or of internal forces, such
as epinasty.

An it strument called the klinostat, arranged by Horace
Darwin, was employed in working out these conclusions.
It was an adaptation of the original piece of apparatus
devised by Professor Sachs, and its mechanism is described
at length. It consists of a cylinder rotating slowly about
its longitudinal axis on which the seedlings under observa-
tion are grown. The cj'linder being placed at a window,
the plants are protected from all illumination except such
as falls on them in a direction parallel to the axis of rota-
tion. The cylinder rotates so slowly that no centrifugal
action is produced on the plants, but rapidly enough to
destroy all geotropic action. The seedlings, therefore,
are entirely free to obey the stimulus of light, and their
heliotropic curvature is not liable to be influenced by gravi-
tation. The method of slow rotation, as it exists in modern
physiological research, is entirely due to Sachs.

The driving force is supplied by a common American
watch-action clock. With this machine, says Mr. Darwin,
" I have easily been able to keep a box of earth, and a plant
weighing 1,000 grams, in constant rotation with the cer-
tainty that it will not stop. By gearing a stronger clock to
the driving wheels, a very much heavier weight could easily
be driven."

Cassia Lignea. — Among the exports from Canton in 1879
that of cassia lignea showed a remarkable advance of over
2f,000 piculs, from 72,168 to 96,778. The cassia is of three
different kinds, which derive their names from the districts
where they are produced, of which Loting and Luehpo are in
Kwangtung and Taiwoo in Kwangsi. It is largely used by
tanners and carpenters, and is in special demand in the
preparation of medicine and perfumery. The export is
chiefly to America and England, but small shipments are
also made to India and the continent of Europe. The cost
at the places of production may be quoted at 6 taels per
picul, but by the time the produce is put on board ship for
exportation it has had to pay accumulated taxes amounting
to 50 per cent, of its cost price, or 42| per cent, in excess of
the dues and duties authorised by the tariff.

jpoisoning Cases.

Aconite Liniment. — Eliza Patmore, aged 21, cook, in
the employ of Messrs. Brickwell, sugeons, Sawbridgeworth,
committed suicide on June 2 by swallowing 3 oz. of aconite
liniment, the largest recorded dose of this poison.

Belladonna Plasters. — The Nem York Times states that
a physician in that city had observed two cases in which
symptoms of poisoning had followed the application of
belladonna plasters.

Vermin -killer. — On May 24 Mrs. S. E. Parker, of
Bournemouth Road, Peckliam, committed suicide by taking
Battle's vermin-killer. The coroner, Mr. Carter, expressed
his surprise that the Legislature did not step in to regulate
the sale of such an article. — On May 26 Daniel Willis was
charged in the Salford Borough Court with attempting to
commit suicide by taking a 3d. packet of vermin-killer. — An
inquest was held on May 10 at Oldbury on the body of Mary
Pugh, aged 47. The medical witness attributed the death to
poisoning by strychnine.

Chlorodyne.— Flora Marsh, aged 23, took a bottle of
chlorodyne from a cupboard in a ward of the Liverpool
workhouse hospital and drank its contents. She died on
May 10. Verdict, " Died from poisoning by chlorodyne,
ignorantly taken as a stimulant."

Godfrey's Cordial. — At Coventry, on May 25, "the
child of a chemist's assistant named Smith, being unwell,
its mother, who had been accustomed to administer Godfrey's
cordial, administered half a teaspoonful, or about 28
drops, of the cordial, and the child died within three hours."

Yew. — During the second week of May seven bullocks
died at Karnes, West Mains, Berwickshire, from the effects
of eating yew-cuttings from a hedge.

Hemlock. — Two children of a shoemaker, named Murphy,
in Macroom, co. Cork, have been poisoned through eating
hemlock, and a third has been dangerously ill from the same
cause.

Caustic Soda. — On March 17 a man named Lloyd, em-
ployed at Messrs. Hunt's chemical works, Wednesbury, took
home some caustic soda, and made a solution of it in a basin
of tea. His son, aged 4, drank it in his father's absence,
and died after prolonged sufferings on May 21.

Chloral. — At Leith Mr. John A. Lennon, Warwick
House, South Fort Street, died on June 2 from an overdose
of chloral, taken to induce sleep. Deceased had qualified
himself for the medical profession. — At an inquest held at
Leeds on May 20, on the body of Jol n Wood (42), drug-
gist's assistant, Merrion Place, Mr. W. M. Hurtley, surgeon,
attributed death to narcotic poisoning, probably with
chloral.

Laudanum. — On May 31 Ann Johnson, widow, was ad-
mitted to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, suffering from the
effects of laudanum poisoning. She recovered. — ■ Peter
Hawick, commercial traveller, died on June 2 in the Edin-
burgh Royal Infirmary, from the effects of an overdose of
laudanum. — On May 31 A. C. Dunn, Campden Place,
Glasgow, was found dead in bed, having committed suicide
by taking laudanum. — On May 28 a labourer employed in
the chemical works of Messrs. T. & H. Smith, Edinburgh,
was admitted to the Royal Infirmary there, apparently suf-
fering from the effects of a narcotic ; he died a few hours
after admission. — (On May 13 Ann M'Gorrigan), or Cameron,
(39), Glasgow, swallowed threepence-worth of laudanum, and
died a few hours afterwards from the effects of the draught.
— At Retford on May \ 18, Mrs. Footit purchased some
laudanum from Mr. R. S. Warde for " curing the toothache,"
and drank it. She recovered under treatment.

Carbolic Acid. — William Longshaw, jun., of the firm of
W. Longshaw & Sons, chemical manufacturers, Warring-
ton, died on May 28 from the effects of about 8 oz. of
crude carbolic acid, drunk by mistake for herb beer. — J.
Cooper, farmer, of Spynie, near Elgin, died on June 1 from
the effects of carbolic acid. The bottle of carbolic acid had
been placed where his medicine generally stood, and he took
the poison without noticing the change.

Prescriptions Ordering Poisons. — The Paris Prefect
de Police has just had all the walls placarded with an
ordinance issued as long ago as 1846, according to which all
practitioners exercising their calling within the jurisdiction
of the prefecture are enjoined, when writing prescriptions
containing any poisonous substances, to write out the doses
in full instead of employing figures ; and all pharmaciens
are prohibited from dispensing any prescriptions in which
this rule is not observed. — Medical Times and Gazette.

German Oil of Cloves.— Schimmel & Co. (in the
Drofjuisten Zeitung, May 20, 1881), the cebrated distillers of
essential oils in Leipsic, in alluding to the new tax (May 1,
1881) of 50m. per cwt. of clove stalks imported into
Germany, which at the same time involves the control of the
distillation by a Government officer, and the destruction of
the residues of such distillation under his supervision, remark
that although they are, in principle, in favour of free trade,
they consider this tax useful as a radical cure for the dis-
graceful practice of selling exhausted clove stalks.

Chemicals for Japan. — From a circular issued by
Messrs. Cocking & Co., of Yokohama, we take the following
remarks, which are of some importance to manufacturers of
chemicals :— " A leading feature in the present policy of the
Government seems to be the initiation of what the Japanese
are pleased to call ' direct trade,' and, with this end in view,
a number of native companies or associations have been
started under the wings of Government patronage, and no
doubt, if the truth were known, by means of Government
money also. This ' direct trade ' means that the Japanese
wish to do both the export and import business of the
country without the intervention of foreigners ; in fact, it
is a step backward, and really means the revival of the old
anti-foreign policy of former years. It is no doubt well
known abroad that the country is in great financial
embarrassment, its paper currency is at a discount of nearly
50 per cent., and the Government are at their wits' end to
know what to do to improve their financial position. The
public are induced to believe that it has been the adverse
balance of their foreign trade that has principally been the
cause of the present financial depression, and the Govern-
ment, as one step towatds an improvement, are trying to
turn the foreign trade into a Government monopoly if
possible. In doing this they have an idea that they will be
able to pay for exports in their irredeemable paper currency,
and realise the same in foreign markets in hard cash. Of
course, to carry out this policy they have yet to see whether
their own merchants are so simple as to part with their
goods for paper money instead of the hard cash they receive
from foreign buyers. A national industrial exhibition was
opened by the Government on March 1 last at Tokio. It has
proved a most decided success ; the total number of ex-
hibitors is 31,000, and the number of visitors for the first
month was 169,999. This exhibition is interesting to
foreign merchants, as from it can be seen that in the near
future Japan will require very little of such foreign manu-
factured goods as require little outlay of capital, expensive
machinery, or cheap coal, as their labour is very cheap, and
they show great aptitude in imitating nearly every possible
article. There are no rights reserved to patentees under
our present treaties, and the Japanese are not at all
particular about appropriating every invention when it
answers their purpose to do so. Even the Government at
their factories are copying and making all kinds of
machinery7 without any reference to proprietary rights in
the matter. This is a subject that we are surprised parties
interested in do not look after, particularly as the proposed
new treaties are now under consideration. As an instance
of the success of some newly- introduced industries, we may
mention matches, of which there now manufactories all
over the country, one employing over 1,500 hands, and the
goods are now exported in large quantities to China,
Australia, &c. In the Hiogo prison 350,000 boxes are made
daily. This industry has caused a large demand for the
necessary chemicals, all of which are imported ; and, in
fact, an increasing trade is done in chemicals of all kinds
used for manufacturing purposes, including soap-making,
dyeing, scents, and many other purposes." Among special
items of information, Messrs. Cocking & Co. report : —

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

" Bleaching powder has arrived in large quantities, and is at
present unsaleable. We also understand the Government
are about commencing its manufacture on a large scale.
This will prevent any more business being done in the
imported article. Benzoic acid, both from gum and urin, is
inquired for, and the Japanese dealers are offering their
indents for it. Carbolic acid is in excessive supply and un-
saleable at our quotations, and likely to be unless we are
unfortunate enough to have another outbreak of cholera,
which is not very probable. Tannic acid has been sold at
$1.25 per lb., in 1-lb. bottles, and is still inquired for.
Chloroform is unsaleable. Mur. cinchonine has not been
dealt in for some time. Our quotations are nominal.
Bismuth has not been sold to any extent ; the inferior
quality that has been shipped here by some houses in
London has deterred importers from operating, as the risk
of condemnation by the Government laboratory entails
heavy loss to importers. Morphia has been sold to con-
siderable extent, we having disposed of over 1,000 oz. during
the month at $2.95 to $3.00 per oz. Quinine has for a long
time been totally neglected, and although the dealers are
offering better prices, still holders cannot afford to accept
same ; importers are asking $3 50 to $3.60 for Pelletier's,
but sales cannot be effected at over our quotations.
Santonine we have sold about 8,000 oz. at 40c, but another
holder commenced realising at 39c, and thus stopped
business, as the dealers are now waiting expecting to obtain
it at 38c. ; the stocks on hand amount to about 45,000 oz., as
against 60,000 oz. at the beginning of the year. The imports of
this article for the first six months of last year were
86,045 oz. We hardly expect to see much improvement in
prices until imports are considerably reduced. Iodine is in
good request, and small parcels can be sold at our quota-
tions. On the other hand, iodide potassium is totally
neglected ; imports have been heavy, and it would be
difficult to effect sales at $2.40 per lb. We have heard of no
sales for some time, the dealers being well supplied by their
indents which have arrived, and those Japanese who made
contracts at $3.25 are now trying to get out of them, as is
usual with them under such circumstances ; several cases
have come into the native Courts to compel them to fulfil
their bargains. Bromide potassium has improved, and sales
have been made at 50c. ; imports were about 20,000 lbs. for
last year, and there remain about 6,000 to 8,000 lbs. on hand.
Drugs. — Balsam copaibse is scarce and wanted in 1-lb. bottles ;
we have effected sales at $1.00, and in bulk at 85c per lb.
Cascarilla bark is in small demand at very low prices that
will not pay. Ergot of rye has been sold at 62ic per lb.,
and further sales could be made if we had it. Glycerine
has been neglected for a long time ; during last year
1,000 cases were imported, which was more than the market
wanted, but, fortunately, the increase in price of this article
lately in Europe has enabled holders to re-ship their stocks
with advantage. Gentian root, jalap, and ipecacuanha are
in demand at unprofitable prices to importers. Colombo
has receded in value, and our last sale was made at $22.00
per picul. Wormseeds are saleable at $15 00 per picul, at
which price we have cleared out our stocks."

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[.Tunc 15, 1881.

The Cheque Bank's report for the year indicates a profit
for the first time. During the five years that the present-
company has been in existence the loss on the working has
gradually been reduced from 3,875Z. in 1877 to 3,345/. in
1878, to 1.932Z. in 1871), and to 389Z. in 1880. This year, by an
increase of business and a decrease of expenses, a profit of
1,1 43Z. has resulted from the working. The number of
cheques sold has nearly doubled since 1877, having reached
this year 454,169, of the value of 1,114,423/. The directors
have not found their business appreciably injured by the
postal notes issued by the Government, but they complain
that the Post Office has adopted a system which has been
inaugurated by private enterprise and with much labour and
outlay of capital, and they argue that their cheques for sums
under 1/. should be like the postal notes, free of stamp
duty.

Advertisers in the Exchange Column will
find it very much to their advantage to draw up
their announcements so that they will fall
naturally into one of the divisions into which
the advertisements are grouped.

We would also suggest that those who avail
themselves of the Disposal section will be wise
to define, with some approach to detail, what
they have to sell. Probable purchasers are too
busy, in most cases, to enter into preliminary
correspondence, which is likely enough to have
no ultimate result.

Terms.— Announcements are inserted in this
column at the rate of one halfpenny per word,
on condition that name and address are added.
Name and address to be paid for. Price in
figures counts as one word.

If name and address are not included, one
penny per word must be paid. A number will
then be attached to the advertisement by the
Publisher of The Cbemist and Druggist, and
all correspondence relating to it must be
addressed to the "Publisher of The Chemist
and Druggist, Colonial Buildings, Cannon
Street, London, E.C.," the envelope to be
endorsed also with the number. The Publisher
will transmit the correspondence to the adver-
tiser, and with that his share in the transaction
will cease.

Deposit of Money. — In order to ensure
safety we offer the following system : — The
purchaser of anything advertised in the Ex-
change Column may remit the amount to us.
We shall acknowledge receipt to both parties by
post-cards, and shall only pay it away on the
advice of the remitter. Whether returned to
him or paid to the seller, we shall charge a com-
mission of 2J per cent, on any money thus
passing through our hands, anil not less than Gd.
on any single transaction. This arrangement
should entirely prevent any cause of complaint
or dissatisfaction arising out of this section of
The Chemist and Druggist.

THE sunshine which characterised the May of 1881 above
many of its predecessors seemed to restore the hopeful-
ness of commercial and financial authorities. The prospects
of a good harvest have a great effect in encouraging confi-
dence, and up to the present they could hardly be better.
The enormous flow of enterprise which this year has .deve-
loped can hardly be regarded with unmixed satisfaction, but
that proportion of it which is legitimate is clearly of extreme
value in causing the circulation of money, and relieving .the
plethora of wealth, which is one of the curious afflictions
of dull times. All evidence shows that the chief factor in
the production of what is now known as bad business is not
the absence of demand, but the immensely increased capa-
city of our manufacturers to produce. In almost every de-
partment of business may be traced larger transactions and
much smaller profits. A glance through the Board of Trade
returns of any month will prove this. To take " alkali "
for an example, it appears, as the figures given below show,
that while the exports in May, 1881, were 20 per cent, more
in quantity than in May, 1880, they were not quite 3 per
cent, better in value. A similar condition, though not to so
marked an extent, prevails in the cotton, coal, jute, woollen,
iron, and other trades. These facts, no doubt, indicate
smaller profits to the very few, that is to the capitalists, but
they suggest better wages and more employment to the
operatives, lower prices to the consumers, and perhaps in
some cases higher profits to the distributors.

The Board of Trade returns for May mark an increase of
business. The imports for the month were 32,822,000?. in
value, as compared with 30,453,000Z. in May, 1881. The
etpor's ri ached 10,087,648^., against 17.277,876*., making the

total for the first five months of the year 90,503, 000Z., or
1£ per cent, better than in the first five months of 1880, and
20 per cent, better than in the first five months of 1879.
As we have said these are values' aal when the reduction
therein is considered it is clear that the increased volume
of trade is even gteater than is thus shown. The exports
of chemicals for the month stands thus : —

May, 1880 May, 1881

Alkali .. .. 595,127 cwt. .. 714,532 cwt.

209,230/. ., 215,197/.

Other Chemicals .. 185,595/. .. 224,042/.

The chemical market was depressed until the end of May,
makers still competing for orders, and sending prices even
lower than the level of last month. But with a good
general demand many of the works are sufficiently occu-
pied, and a decidedly stronger tone has supervened. For
soda the quotations are about equal to those of a month ago,
except for crystals, which have been in considerable demand
for America, and have advanced to 66*. Qd. to 67s. 6d.
Bleaching powder has sold at 51. per ton in London, but is
now firmer at five guineas. Chlorate and bichromate of
potash are dull.

The market for saltpetre is very inactive, and quotations
have further declined.

Mercurials are steady.

Citric acid has been firmer, and not less than 2s. Old.
would be accepted a week ago, but it is now a shade easier,
and transactions at 2s. are reported. Tartaric is firm, and
for foreign less than L<t. 7\d. is refused.

Aloes. — Cape are scarce and bring extreme prices. Bar-
bados are cheaper. Other kinds not much in demand, bu;
prices steady.

Camphor still arriving in large quantity, and if pressed
on the market a further considerable reduction must ensue.

Capsicums. — Of 497 bales and bags of Bombay and
Madras offered for sale only about 40 bales found purchasers
at a considerable reduction. Fine bright plump small

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1881.

Madras made 55s. Gd., but the bulk bright long red to dull
palish realised 23s. down to 15s. Gd. One bale of fine bright
bold red Natal sold at 71s.

Cardamoms are in abundant supply, but holders do not
push them and prices are maintained.

Cinchona. — Kecent transactions have been generally in
favour of buyers, and the supply offered was much in excess
of requirements. Of 7,000 packages of South American
offered at last week's sales less than 1,000 were actually sold
and generally at a slight decline from previous prices. East
Indian bark was also easier, but Ceylon sorts more generally
maintained their values.

Cinnamon.— At the quarterly sales on May 30 there was
a good demand, and about Id. higher was realised on the
average.

Cloves are dull, and sell at a decline of about Id. for
Zanzibar, and 2d. for Penarjg.

Cod-liver Oil. — The reports from most of the Norway
fisheries indicate that there must be a scarcity of white and
yellow oil this year. The Finland fishery is not yet ended,
but even if that should prove abundant there must still be
a deficit in the stock.

Cubebs are held firmly for high rates, say 112s. Gd. to 115s.

Galls are not held so firmly. China, for fair to good, have
sold at 62s. to 63s. Turkey blues are quoted at 55s. to 57s. Gd ,
down to 45s. for pinky white.

Ginger. — New Cochin has sold at a decline of from Is.
to ?*. per cwt.

Glycerine.— It is stated that a noted Austrian firm have
been offered 20 per cent, above current prices for the
guarantee of the whole of their product up to the end of
1882.

GlTMS. — Arabic is in large supply, and buyers refuse to
give present prices. Asafuetida is not much inquired for.
Benjamin. — Sales only made at some decline. Copal, too, is
rather weak. Myrrh and olibanum also show a similar
tendency. Gamboge and kowrie, on the other hand, are
somewhat firmer.

Musk. — There has been but slight competition, and prices
arc in buyers' favour.

Opium. — No improvement has taken place in the position
of this drug, though it is said that there is some disposition
to take stock, dealers believing that it is not likely to be
much lower. The reports of the new crop are somewhat
various, as, though the weather has been generally favourable
and a large supply is predicted, there seem to be grave
dangers from swarms of locusts in Asia Minor. The follow-
ing report by Mr. E. A. Maltass, of Smyrna, dated May 27,
will indicate the position there: —

Our opium market continues in the same position, but of late there has
been an active demand for the secondary and manufacturing qualities for
China, England, and the Continent.

Our stock of all descriptions in Smyrna and in the interior is r.uw reduced
to 350 cases, very little of which can be classed as good, pure opium.

To day's quotations are as hereunder : —

Per chequee Per lb. f.o.b.
P. s. d.

New Karahissar 140 = 15 3

New current 135 14 9

Old opium 135 14 9

Manufacturing talequali .. .. llfitolO Hi. Gd. to 12s.

The growing crop is progressing favourably, and. although no accurate
estimate can as yet be arrived at as to the ultimate outturn, it is now
calculated that the yield, if all goes well, will not be less than 7,CC0 to
8,000 ca«es. This is, of course, only an approximate estimate on present
appearances, and may be reduced or exceeded according to circumstanc s
as the poppy plantations are still liable to be injured by rain, hot southerly
winds, or partly devoured by loessts, which unfortunately swarm all ovei
the country this year.

Taking the present uncert in position into consideration as to the extet t
of the coming crop, it appears strange that within the last two months th>
fall in prices should have been so rapid, for, even allowing that hence-
forward nothing occurs to the detriment of the growing crop, an 1 that
8,000 or even 9,0 0 cases are produced, we cannot reasonably expect that
the new drug when ready for shipment will lie obtainable un ler 130p , or
lis., for fine selected, and I05p. to 110p.,orlls. 6i. to 12j., per lb f.o.b. for
manufacturing qualities, more especially as the stock of old opium in this

country will be reduced to a minimum, and in the consuming markets the
quantity remaining on hand will be less than what it was last year at the
corresponding period. It must further be borne in mind that owing to the
enhanced value of this drug since last spring speculators kept aloof, and
consumers supplied themselves but sparingly, and are consequently quite
out of stock ; but when fine opium is obtainable at about 14 s., and manu-
facturing at 12*., it will be a safe price both for speculators and con-
sumers to operate largely. It is, therefore, very improbable that we shall
witness any farther decline on present quotations, and should anything
occur to the detriment of the growing crop so as to reduce the present
estimated quantity a couple of thousand cases, it is not improbable that
we may see an advance of 2s. to 3i. per lb. when the new drug is ready
for shipment.

Rhubarb is weak for lower qualit ies. Bold bright Shenshi
root has sold at 3s. lOd. and 3s. lid. for fine trimmed, down
to 3s. for small. Canton root, Shenshi character, varies from
Is. id. to 2s. id.

Shellac. — Something like a speculative demand has
arrested the decline in price, and on some sorts an advance
has lately occurred.

Vanilla. — The Reunion production is reported to have
amounted only to 20,000 kilos., against 41,000 last year.
The price asked in France for this product is consequently
high, running to lOOf. per kilo, for first quality. The
Mexican harvest is said to have proved favourable, equalling
last year both for quantity and quality. For first quality of
this 115f. to 120f. per kilo, is asked.

Oils. — Almond expressed now sells at Is. 2d. Castor is
unchanged. Cod-liver oil is higher for new, and will pro-
bably command better average prices during the year. An
advance on present rates would not be altogether unexpected.

Linseed oil has advanced to 2GI. 7s. Gd. for spot, and
2GI. 10s. for July-August. Rape is steady. Olive is still in
inactive demand. What business there is goes for Spanish
and Levant oils, as Italian holders demand higher prices for
their article. The reports of the growing crops of olives
are quite favourable. Cochin cocDanut is a triile easier in
the absence of demand, lard in cheaper, and fish oils are
almost unsaleable.

Turpentine has advanced considerably during the month,
being now worth 35s. spot, 32s. July, and 30s. Sep' ember-
December. Petroleum, too, responding to batter quotations
from America and the Continent, has recovered, and buyers
seem convinced that the present is a suitable time to buy
forward. July prices are 7j|;cZ,and September-December,

THE CHEMIST

AND DRUGGIST.

38/7. Cleaning Old Engravings.— In March, 1877, we published a
communication on this subject from Mr. Joseph Ince, which enclosed a
letter from Mr. F. Andrews.

If brown spots and ring;; of mildew have not made their appearance,
float the engraving face downwards for 21 hours on a large quantity of
water in a vessel perfectly free from grease and soil of all kinds. Lift it
from the water on a perfectly clean sheet of glass, drain, transfer to
'blotting-paper without touching it, then transfer to fresh blotting-paper,
dry, rub with bread as is done in drawings, and iron.

If the stains are bad or are not removed by this plan place the engrav-
ings in a shalb*' dish and pour water over them till they are completely
soaked. Carefully pour off the water, and replace it by solution of chloride
of lime (1 part liq. calcis chlorata:, British Pharmacopoeia, to 39 parts
water). As a rule the stains disappear as if by magic. If not, pour on the
spot pure liq. calcis chloratse if that does not succeed, add a little acid,
nitrobydrochlor. dil. As soon as the stain disappears wash the engraving
carefully with successive portions of water till all the chlorine is removed.
Then steep it in a weak solution of glue or gelatine, which maybe coloured
with coffee grounds to give the engraving a yellow colour. Then dry
■between blotting paper under a weight, and iron with a sheet of clean
paper between the iron and the print. Small grease spots may be removed
by putting powdered French chalk over them, a piece of clean blotting
paper over the chalk, and a hot iron over that. If the stains are larger
benzine must be used, applying it in a circle round the stain before touching
the stain itself.

Pro Bono Publico. — We have not received any similar complaints.

THE EXCHANGE COLUMN.
TO THE EDITOR OF " THE CHEMIST AXD DRUGGIST."

Sir,— Having read Mr. Bentley's letter in your May issue respecting
the sale of formula? through your Exchange Column, I should be glad if
jou will allow me to state in Eelf-defence that, during the five years I have
been an advertiser, I have never had a complaint as to my receipts being
worthless ; on the other hand, I hold testimonials (if they may be so termed)
from some of the largest wholesale as well as retail firms in the trade, both
at home and abroad. Of course, these are private communications, but,
should you think proper, I shall be pleased to hand them to you, Mr.'
Editor, for your perusal.

I think it would have been more satisfactory had Mr. Bentley mentioned
the name (even if not for publication) of his " swindler."

Yours obediently,

79 Gaisford Street, N.W., " Analyst," care op Mr. Warnes.

June 8, 1881.

HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT.
TO THE EDITOR OF " THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST."

Sir,— In reference to certain advertisements which have appeared in your
journal, I will be glad if you will allow me to state that it is now two or
three years since I chemically examined Hoffs Malt Extract, and that
nobody is authorised to use analyses published in my paper on the " Influ-
ence of Malt Liquors upon Digestion and Nutrition," for the purpose of
•describing what is now in the market.

It is, however, quite competent for vendors of this preparation, if they
choose to do so, to guarantee that its composition accords with the prepa-
ration I examined in 1878, or to get any other competent chemist to do
this. I am too busy in other directions to undertake analytical work at
present.

Yours truly,

J. J. Coleman, F.I.C., F.C.S.

45 West Nile Street, Glasgow, May 30.

Mr. Coleman owes us an explanation of the foregoing. The only adver-
tisements in our pages in which Mr. Coleman's experiments have been
alluded to have been those of Mr. Newman, of some two or thrte years ago,
soon after the account of them had been published. Lately, Mr. Leopold
Hoff has published in various journals, but not in this one, a letter signed
"J. J. Coleman," dated April 28, 1881, and addressed to " M. Hoff, Esq.,
Hamburg," which, as far as language can be trusted to mean anything,'
clearly authorises him (M. Hoff) to assume that Mr. Coleman's experiments'
were made with his preparation. Since then we hear that Mr. Newman is
commencing actions against the journals which have published Mr. Cole-
man's letter. We do not know which of the parties may commence an
action against us for the foregoing letter, as we cannot in the least decree
determine against whom it is d'rected.

188/38. J.D. had better apply to the Secretary of the Royal College of
Surgeons, Edinburgh.

PHYSICIANS AND HOMOEOPATHS.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST."

Sir, — Premising that a commentary, however trite, on any publishel
inquiry, is not reccssaiily a reply thereto, we venture to ask youti find
space for the following, in connection with Dr. Bayes's letter on p. 229 of
your last issue.

The inquiries addressed to the President of the Royal College of Physi-
cians, might, to some leaders, appear rather in the nature of querulous
questioning, than likely to advance the " healing art." This point is one
on which we do not offer an opinion. We content ourselve=, however, with
askingthe attention of your readers to the following very fair and forcible
statement from the Lancet of April 30, p. 721.

" It is needless to say that there are no such things as ' homoeopathic
remedies,' recognise! by the profession, which is ready to use for the
benefit of the sick anything which may prove of service, no matter bij iclwin
suggested cr discovered." (The italics are ours )

We are, dear sir,

Yours faithfully,

P. Newbery & Sons.

37/188. Kino.— It you make "Jones's Cure for Rheumatism," you could
no doubt get legal protection for any property you might create therein.
But it is not likely that any court would prevent any future Jones from
using such a natural form of words for his preparation if he should desire
to do so, aud unless he should in some marked manner copy the style oi
your article, with the intention, as the Court might decide, of deceiving the
public. If, however, you should choose a more fancy combination of words,
such as "Jones's Rheumatic Reliever," it is probable, but not certain, that
the Court would prohibit a copy of such a title by any subsequent Jones.
This would be independent of any trade-mark. Neither title could bo
registered as a trade mark, and certainly not the name " Jones."

32/186. W. S. P. — The title " Fruit Effervescing Saline," with your own
namo as maker, would most likely be regardel by a Court of law as an
infringement of Mr. Eno's rights. Such questions as are here put to us
(and we have leplied to a good many of a similar nature) can easily be
judged by a simple test. In the title proposed is there any idea of benefit-
ing by the similarity of such title with some ether of more or less popu-
larity ? There can be no moral right to an advantage gained in such a
manner, and probably there is no legal right either.

Stokes' Liniment.— In reply to " J. C. M." (174/35), Mr. A. W. Test,
of Camden, New Jersey, sends us the subjoined formula, which slightly
differs from that which we published last month. Mr. Test believes ths

liniment originated in Baltimore : —

STOKES' LINIMENT.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST."

SIR,— I think some explanation is necessary regarding the proprietary of
the linim. tereb. acetic, the popular formula for which you publish in your
May issue as that of Stokes' liniment. I had lately a prescription handed
to me for Graves' liniment, which I could only dispense with the assistanca
of the chemist where it was last procured. He, on being asked for a
quantity of the mixture or the formuli for preparing it, sent a preparation
which I had long known as St. John Long's liniment, and which I could
easily have made up myself with very little trouble and at less expense.

Chemists who know of any other aliases for this valuable remedy should
communicate these to you for the benefit of the

1S5/40.— Terra Cotta — B. B. wants a formula for a black stain
suitable for terra-cotta, that will serve as a background for ornamental
piintings.

187/69. ./. R. Y. wants to know how to Preserve the Colour of
Leaves, ferns and the like, intended for windows and screens. The
leaves are guavmed ou the glass and are fully exposed to the light. Per-
haps some reader can supply the information. As the chlorophyll of the
leaves is a vegetable substance very easily oxidised, we think it is hardly
possible to preserve it long under 6uch conditions. The best chance will
be seized by protecting the leaves as much as possible from the air, as, for
instance, by immersing them in a solution of glue to which a little solution
of potassium bichromate has been added, taking care that every part of the
leaf is coated with the glue, and then hanging it to dry in the sunlight.
Leaves and ferns are often dyed with Judson's green, which brightens
their colour and makes them more useful for some ornamental purpose'.
This dye, however, fades if long exposed to light and air. A formula under
Miscellaneous Formulas this month may suggest an idea.

183/.'E. £. /.—Emergencies.— A small and useful work on what to do
in emergencies is published by the Accident Insurance Company and sold
for Gd. It was written by the late Mr. Alfred Smee, F It S., Surgeon to the
Bank of England, and was shortly noticed in our colur ns in 1878. The
German military surgeons are making an attempt to lessen the mortality
on the battle field. Most deaths occur from injuries to arteries, which cause
speedy death from loss of blood. The soldiers are now provided with a
tourniquet and a little lint and bandages, and different designs are tattooed
on all parts of the body where arteries occur which might require
stopping.

Ellis's " Diseases of Children," by the late senior physician ti the Vic-
toria Hospital for Sick Children is a good work. It is published by
Cluirchills, and has reached its fourth edition.

£3/24. Essence of Rennet or Liquid Rennet —J. P. //.—The
following formula is recommended by Cooley :— Fresh rennet, cut small,
12 oz. ; common salt, 3 oz. ; knead them together and leave the mixture
at rest in a cool place for five or six weeks. Then add 18 oz. of M ater, good
ram or proof spirit, 2 oz , and digest for 24 hours, filter and colour with
a little burnt sugar. Two or three teasp^onfuls will curile a quart of
milk. Seme persons use white wine instead of water, with simple digestion
for a day or two.

35/6. /. (?.— The proprietors published formula for Siegel's Syrup, and
one for a close imitation of the article were published in the Chemists and
Druggists' Diary for the current year.

Can anyone furnish " J. G." with the formula? of Itooke's Elixir and
Crosby's Elixir.

186/72. Foetid Feet.— Albertas writes :—" Will you kindly publish in
your next issue a form for curing sore and bad-smelling feet."

Within the last few months the cause of the foetor and of the tenderness
of the feet which accompanies it has been brought ti light. Unfortunately
we are unable to lay our hands on the prec:se rep irt, but its substance is
that a peculiar fungus— the B -alius futlidus— takes up its abode in the
leather or stocking saturated with the perspiration of the foot and grows
there, giving off the peculiar fcetid smell. The investigator cut a small
piece from a stocking which had been worn by a person afflicted with this
distressing condition, and, immersing it in a suitable fluid, he wis able to
watch the growth of the Bacillus, and to observe the development of the
odour. It is evident that the first step towards the remoral of the odour
is to destroy the Bacillus and to prevent it from growing afresh. Salicylic
acid seems to be suggested as the most effectual means for doing this, but
the doctor who reported on the subject adopted the following mode of
treatment. The feet were thoroughly washed two or three times a day
and then soaked in aqueous solution of b>racic acid. The feet of the
stockings to be worn were steeped in the same solution and dried before
use. The stockings were changed twice or thrice a day, each pair being
raised in water and then soaked in the boracic acid solution. A jar of this
was always kept handy, so that no delay or neglect was excusable.

Quite a large number of piwders and solutions for deodorisiug fcetid feet
have been devised. As the cause of the fcetor was unknown, these have
been mere arrows aimed at a venture.

39/10. R. F.— Several methods of bleaching sponges are described on
page 468 of The Chemist amd Diiuqgist for October, 1879.

185/08. Olcatc of Mercury.—/. K. — Th: best w ay to make oleate of
mercury 5 per cent, is to dilute the ordinary 20 per cent, oleate. The
latter can be made by triturating in a n.ortar 4 parts of good oleic acid
with 1 part precipitated yellow oxide of mercury, afterwards leaving the
mortar in a warm place till the combination is complete. One part of the
20 per cent, oleate mixed with 3 parts of oleic acid will give a 5 per cent,
oleate.

185/10. Alton. — The formula for syr. ferri phosph. co. is published in the
commonest books of reference, such as Squire's " Supplement," Cooler 's
' Cyclopaedia," &c. We have also printed it several times in this journal.

187/69. Brown Jack Oils. — A country chemist will be glad to know
what is meant by " brown jack oils." The bottle sent for the same has the
label of a respectable chemist at Guildford upon it.

183/3. F. J. F. would be glad to know how to make ink pills— that is
ink in a solid form which will reaMly dissolve on being put into water.
Can any reader supply the formula ?

Food for Wild Beasts. — At the Jardin des Plantes in
Paris, the following are the allowances for the various
animals. The monkeys are fed on carrols, cooked potatoes,
salad, and bread made from maize and potatoes. The lions,
tigers, and bears have each 5 kilos, (including bones) of
fresh meat per day. For the panther 3 to 4 kilos., and for
the hyena 2 to 3 kilos, of the same suffice. The wild cat gets
\ kilo, of fresh meat without bones. The falcon gets the
same. The eagle is served -with 1 kilo., and the vulture
with H kilo, of fresh meat with bones per day. The
elephant eats per day four bundles of sainfoin, 1 decalitre
of bran, 2 kilos, of bread, 3 or 4 bundles of oat straw ; cost
Of. The giraffe is supplied with 1 bundle of lucern, 2 lbs. of
bread, 1 litre barley, 1 litre of beans, 2 litres of maize ; cost
2\l. to 3f. The stag, on a half-bundle of lucern and 5 litres
of bran, is kept for about If. per day. Parrots and such-like
birds are fed for 25 to 30 centimes per day.

An American correspondent sends us the following : —

Then makes me think I've Bright's disease ?

Ox May 30 the students of the Westminster College of
Chemistry and Pharmacy, accompanied by the principals
and friends, made a day's excursion to Brighton. Special
carriages on the 9.30 A.M. train from London Bridge con-
veyed the party, numbering about 120, in an hour and a half
to the queen of watering places, where, favoured by magni-
ficent weather, an exceedingly pleasant day was spent.
Boating, bathing, and driving tilled up the morning, and at
2 o'clock the whole party assembled in the Aquarium, where
a substantial dinner was done ample justice to. The toasts
of " Success to Westminster College " and the " Principals "
were drunk with enthusiasm, the latter with muscial
honours. Becitations and songs by the students followed,
and the party then dispersed to view the wonders of the
briny deep or listen to the sweet music discoursed by the
Aquarium band. London was reached at about 10.30 P.M.,
after a most enjoyable excursion.

PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS,

(EECEUTLY IMPEOVED)
Approved by the Academy of Medicine of Paris, and other Medical Authorities in England and Abroad.

VITAL ENERGY, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions
of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy ; any de-
ficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by
a variety of troublesome ailments, such as

Indigestion
Liver Complainta
Neuralgia
Sciatica
Deafness
Writer's Cramp
Loss of Voice

Asthma

Bronchitis

Paralysis

Epilepsy

Rheumatism

Gout

Constipation

Local Debility
General Debility
Female Complainta
Mental and
Physical Weakness
Functional Disorders
&c., &c.

This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be
admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, by
supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes Nature's most congenial
curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one

Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial
powers of these appliances, even in cases defying ordinary treatment.

THE CONTINUOUS VOLTA-ELECTRIC CURRENTS, rendered most
conveniently self-applicable by recent improvements of these Chain-
Bands, although applied externally, penetrate to the innermost organs, pro-
moting digestion, circulation, and nutrition, and perform their recuperative
and restorative work in a silent, natural way, devoid of the costliness, un-
certainty and inconvenience of ordinary treatment, or of any unpleasant
sensation or shocks, counter-irritation, &c.

Even a Five Shilling Band of the minimum electric power evinces its
genuineness by deflecting a telegraphic needle at many miles' distance,
whilst those of superior price and power produce all the physical, chemical,
and physiological phenomena possessing the famous curative power? of the
voltaic battery, enhanced by their great portability.

Opium of our days (see page do of the February, page 135 of the March, and page 230 of the May number), Mr. H. H.
Stjltzrerger has the satisfaction to inform both the Home and the Colonial Trades that meanwhile, in the Fen districts, the
pure inside pulp of the Patna Palls has been found to answer splendidly for tincture purposes, while his " blending " of the
three leading Eastern qualities will be found the most suitable article for the Colonies, where the drug is consumed by the pipe.

With the exception of Peru and Panama, Mr. H. H. Sultzberger is open to offers for the exclusive consignment to any
Colonial or Foreign Market of this latter Speciality of his, of now nearly ten years' well-established reputation in the above two
markets. FURTHER PARTICULARS ON APPLICATION BT LETTER.

JQUOR SANTAL FLAY. c. BDCHD et CUBEB A

PLEASE KOTE AND HAVE OUR ORIGINAL ARTICLE, WHICH MUST BEAR OUR SIGNATURE.

Since we introduced this elegant preparation it has been largely employed in the treatment of gonorrhoea and gleet, and with tha
appiest results. It is so much superior to copaivi, as it does not interfere with the digestive organs. The disagreeable eructation which
bllows the administration of copaivi is not experienced, and the unpleasant rash (Urticaria) has not been noticed. It is especially
iidicated in the advanced stages of gonorrhoea and chronic gleet. If it be given in the beginning, before the inflammation has fully
jveloped, it may sometimes succeed in abating the attack, but if it fail to accomplish this it had better be suspended, as it may
jgravate the symptoms during the inflammatory stage. In other inflammatory affections of the genito-urinary mucus membrane, such
:S pyelitis and chronic cystitis, when the disease is of a subacute or chronic character, the liquor santal may be employed with great
llvantage. Santal Oil has been the remedy of some eminent surgeons in the treatment of gonorrhoea, but in combination with bucbu
id cubebs it is much more efficacious. The great difficulty in its administration was its suspension in mixtures, but this trouble is
•rested by a beautiful pharmaceutical process, and our preparation will be found perfectly miscible in water.

Price 10s. 6d. per pound, packed in 10 oz., 22 oz., 40 oz., and 90 oz. Bottles.

From Dr. GOURLEY, F.R.C.S., Senior Surgeon, Hartlepools Hospital.
"I have found your 'Liq. Santal Flav. cum Buchu et Cubeba' invaluable in several cases of gonorrhoea, and more particularly in
eet. I consider it one of our best remedies in this frequently tedious complaint. It forms a nice mixture, and is quite free from tha
mptoms produced by copaiva.— S. GOURLEY, M.D., F.R.C.S., Senior Surgeon to Hartlepools Hospital. — To Messrs. C. J. Hewlett

weakness of the tonsils caused by Quinsy. She tried your wonderful ' Specific,' and after applying it a little more than a week her hearing and breathing
were quite restored. I am glad to communicate this as the medium of personal thanks and for the good of others, — Yours truly, C. L."

" Crystal Palace Road, East Dut.wtch, June 10, 1878.— Sir,— During the last few weeks my little girl has been quite deaf, and suffering con-
siderable pain in her left ear. I was recommended to use your ' Golden Drops for Deafness,' and I am delighted to say that, after applying tfcem i'tuv

Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S

ODYIN

THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE,

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
Prom Lord Chancellor SELBORNE, Vice-Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD,
| and the LORDS JUSTICES OP APPEAL.

VICE-CHANCELLOR SIR W. PAGE WOOD, by whom the suit in Chancery was first heard, stated in his judgment thai
Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne, that the whole story of the Defendant Freeman was as
lleliberately untrue as the falsehood he had deposed to with reference to the use of his Chlorodyne in the Hospital.'

The VICE-CHANCELLOR also stated, ' that Chlorodyne was a fanciful name, and had application been made sooner, tha
|3ourt would have given Dr. Browne protection.'

LORD CHANCELLOR SELBORNE coincided with the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor upon this point, and stated 'thai
,iad application been made at a proper time and place, the Court would have found means to restrain the Defendant from misre-
presenting the decision of the Vice-Chancellor.'

LORD JUSTICE JAMES, on appeal, stated in his judgment, ' that the Defendant Freeman had made a deliberate misrepre-
entation of the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood.'

It was proved in Court, on affidavit by Mrs. Forbes, of Paris, that the testimonial published in the Times, November 14th
.865, speaking of the great efficacy of Chlorodyne in Cholera, referred to Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, and that she never
sed any other, that she had written to the Defendant Freeman to that effect ; notwithstanding which notice the Defendant
mblishes the said testimonial as referring to his medicine.

The Editor of the Medical Times, in his report on Chlorodyne, January 13th, 1866, gives information that the Chlorodyne
■eferred to was the medicine introduced by a retired Army Medical Officer, which was Dr. J. Collis Browne ; still this is published
}y the Defendant as testimony to his medicine

Numerous affidavits from eminent Physicians and others were produced in Court, stating that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the
nventor of Chlorodyne, and that when prescribing they mean no other.

The Defendant himself publishes that his compound is in effect and composition quite different to any other preparation
evertheless he assumes the name, testimonials, &c, of Chlorodyne.

Technicalities in law prevent that protection which the public should justly have against such a course of conduct. It is now
ncumbent on all who purchase Chlorodyne to see that the name, ' Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,' is engraved on the
3-overnment Stamp, as it is not sold otherwise. All other compounds under the name of Chlorodyne are spurious. All attempts
,t analysis have failed ; hence the statement that the constituents of Chlorodyne are known is a misrepresentation.

From Sxmes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall, Simla,

January 5, 1880.

To J. T. Davenport, Esq., .33 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London.

Dear Sir, — Have the goodness to furnish us with your best quotations for Dr. J. Collis
Browne's Chlorodyne, as, being large buyers, we would much prefer doing business with you direct than
through the wholesale houses. We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread
reputation this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself, not only in Hindostau, but all over the East. As
a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be
glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are
now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be but
evanescent. We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's
Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a
general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic
Diarrhoea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprisingly controlling
power. _ We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction
that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are
of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the part
of the chemist to prescriber and patient alike.

We are, Sir, faithfully yours,

JOHN RICHARDSON & CO.'S

HE PEAK

IMPORTANT NOTICE. -PEARL-COATED PILLS FOR EXPORT.

It is well known that large quantities of Coated Pills are made in England, which, although perfectly satisfactory in appearance
len recently made, are very soon spoiled by becoming cracked and discoloured, and consequently utterly unlit for exportation. Some
our correspondents in the Colonies have informed us that they have received consignments of such pills which upon their arrival have
en perfectly unsaleable, and great loss and disappointment have thereby been occasioned.

As we have for nearly 20 years exported very large quantities of our Soluble Pearl-Coated Pills and have received most satisfactory
Ijtorts of their excellent condition upon arrival, we have now no hesitation in affirming that the only guarantee fur Shippers and
importers securing for their friends perfectly saleable Coated Pills is to order those of our make.

As proofs of the keepable properties of our Pills we subjoin the following highly satisfactory Testimonials, some of which have quite
:ently been received : —

Gentlemen, 66 A- SEVERE TEST." Jan. 8th, 1880.

I have great pleasure in testifying to the great satisfaction your Coated Pills have given me. The Pills
Jlenclose to you were some I got from you about three years ago, and since then they have gone through
jjaevere test, having made four Voyages to South America, three being to the West Coast and two to the West
ildian Islands. They were kept in a tin box, anything but air-tight, and had no protection from damp. The Coating
uld not be in better condition, and, having used some lately, I found their efficacy quite unimpaired.

I RECENT COLONIAL TESTIMONIALS.

Adelaide, South Australia, June 16th, 1879.
Dear Sirs, — Having for many years past used your Pearl-Coaled Pills in our Dispensaries, botli from tormulse supplied by us and frum numerous
ers contained in your list, and which we now regularly adopt, we have great pleasure in testifying to their undeviating efficacy, as also to the
isfaction they have given to the leading medical gentlemen of the city, for whom we dispense, and who have every confidence in them. We have
f nd from our own experience that they are readily soluble in the stomach, and that whim Quinine, Morphia, Opium, &c, are given, the result has
ays been in accordance with that expected. We are, dear Sirs, yours faithfully, MAIN & GEYffli (Chemists and Druggists).

Kurrachee, India, November 29th, 1877.
Dear Sins, — I am pleased to inform you that I have used your Pearl-Coated Pills in my business for a considerable time, and with decided success.
;y give the greatest satisfaction to my customers, who seem to appreciate them very highly. They are remarkably well made, the coating perfectly
able in this climate, and yet quite soluble. I have had no complaints respecting their action, I therefore conclude that they are conscientiously
sensed. I am, dear Sirs, yours faithfully, E. SPEECHLEY (Chemist and Druggist).

Geelong, South Australia, November 25th, 1879.
' Gentlemen, — I have very great pleasure in bearing my unqualified approval of the various preparations manufactured by Messrs. Richardson & Co.,
flfjeicester, which have been submitted to my notice by their Agents at Geelong, Messrs. Bull & Owen. I consider their Coated Pills a vast improve-
mt on the old form of Pills, and further, I am satisfied that in composition they are what they profess to be, from careful observation of their effects,
»|ich have been specially manifest in the Pills containing Phosphorus and Strychnia, the physiological effects have been well marked.
I KUPERT PINCOTT, M.R.C.S. Eng., &c.

Melbourne, Victoria, Socth Australia, August 6th, 1879.
I Gentlemen, — We have been selling your Pearl-Coated Pills in this Colony for several years, and have sold thousands of gross without ever having
•pmplaint, and when we have been out of certain numbers our friends have been disappointed at not being able to get them. We have no hesitation,
J aying tiny are in this Colony highly appreciated. Yours truly, C. & A. E. POLLING (Chemists and Druggists).

Just Published, tho Sixth Edition of our SOLUBLE PEARL -COATED PILLS,

Between thirty and forty years ago a Medicine was introduced to the public, and suffering
humanity was invited to try the same.

The Proprietor knew from experience that success was certain, but the human breast is so

often proved itself to be " stranger than fiction," and it is a fact as solid as truth that

Our Machines ire universally adopted throughout the world for the manu-
facture of all kinds of Aerated Drinks, whether in bottles, phons or
counter fountains. There are in England alone over 1 500 factories where
our Machinery is in use. They are the simp'est, safest, and cheapest for
the purpose, and produce a highly-charged gaseous water free from metallic
or foreign contamination.

&31 our Machine? have a Gasometer, and it forms a most important necessity where purity of product is required as in tnis the rns
s expanded and punned ; it also removes the possibility of explosion, and avoids the necessity of complication-these we consider of

greater importance than the saving of a few inches of floor space.
Our valuable Book of Recipes and Instructions accompanies every Machine, and the most unskilled can at once produce

Waters of the highest class.

'.tieue: BEST

As a safe, ordinary, and gentle aperient,
In inflammation and congestion,
In rheumatic and gouty disorders,
Against undue tendency to fat,
Against hemorrhoids,

In bilious attacks and disorders of the liver,

The Proprietors of this Natural Spring of Laxative Water are desirous of bringing the leading features before the Medical Profession. The advantages
specially claimed are, that it contains a larger amount of valuable active aperient solids than any other bitter water previously in vogue with the public,
or prescribed by the faculty, and notwithstanding its rapid action as an aperient, it produces no uneasiness in its effects. It will be seen from the
analytical data (below) of eminent Professional Chemists of England and the Continent, that this water contains nearly double the amount of Magnesia
found in any other Bitter Water, hence it is entitled to be distinguished as a "Specific Magnesium Bittek Water."

•with internal pipes of block tin ; Bramah principle Gun-metal Pump iu a frame of iron, with Fly-wheel, Crauk. and Handles.
Instead of the dun-metal Cylinder or Condenser, with revolving Agitator and Toothed Gear-wheels, we substitute in this Machine
a large Copper Condenser of about four times the size, with our Apparatus fitted to the Copper Condenser. We find the Waters
are more highly charged with Carbonic Acid Gas by this method than any other way of saturation, and they are perfectly free
from metallic contamination. This Machiue is also strongly recommended for filling Syphon Bottles, and, it driven by a Motor
(either a Gas, Air, Steam, or Water) Engine, the product is about double.

[June 15, 1881.

The increasing demand for first-class substitutes for alcoholic Liquors has induced H. E. & Co. to introduce the above
elegant preparation. Phosfeebabe contains in a most assimilable form the valuable Tonic, Restorative, and. Invigo-
rating properties of Iron, Phosphates, &c. Taken with meals it stimulates the appetite and assists digestion.

At all times it -will be found to be a delightful and grateful beverage, and admirably suited for evening parties or other
genial occasions. Phosfebrade is strongly commended to the notice of those whose mental and physical powers are

over-strained by much brain work.

A. DELICIOUS ZBZE^TZEIRAa-IE],

The BRITISH MEDICAL JOUBNAL says.—
" We can confidently recommend it to the attention of physicians and others who are occasionally at a less what to direct
their patients to take when parched by feverish thirst or depressed by exhausting ailments — notably in cases where alcoholic
stimulants would be prejudicial. We feel that it would be found exceedingly useful in mitigating the discomfort ofttimes
experienced by those suffering from the thirst, loss of appetite, and general malaise connected with the last stage of phthisis
and chronic bronchitis. We would also, from our observations and experience, advise its introduction into clubs, taverns, and
places of public amusement, where it would judiciously supersede vinous and alcoholic stimulants, seeing that it contains,
as its name implies, life-giving ingredients in a form easily assimilated."

A BRAIN AND NERVE TONIC.

The LANCET says : — "Zoeoone contains the soluble phosphates of lime, iron, soda, and potash, in medicinal quantities.
Very efficient and pleasant."

The MEDICAL PRESS AND CIRCULAR says: — "Is commendable equally for the stjle in which it is put up
and the delicate flavour which it possesses, and also on account of its special merits as a nervine tonic."

NON-ALCOHCMJC!— ^STIMULATES BY STRENGTHENING.

<gT C5-A-XTTI^)I^X«— Dealers should be on their guard against numerous imitations
of ZOEDONE, put up in the same style and offered as substantially the same article.
The composition of ZOEDONE is protected by Letters Patent, and the Zoedone Company
will proceed against infringements.
Every Chemist that has introduced ZOEDONE has found a large and
regularly increasing sale for it. It is put up in Champagne Bottles, and there
is no trouble with empties, as the bottles are included in the price. Customers
supplied with Pamphlets for distribution ; also a special Circular for medical

men stating the formula.

"UNIVERSAL" FOOD

(Patent Cooked Malted Farinaceous),

THE NEW FOOD

FOR INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADULTS,
BOTH IN HEALTH AND SICKNESS:

REQUIRES NEITHER BOILING NOR STRAINING.

This Food consists of the most nutritious and finest-selected cereal grains and pulse, combined with the active constituents of pure fresh
malt meal, in such proportions as to render the mixture as nearly as possible chemicallv identical with the constituents of the humw
body itself. It is therefore valuable for everyday use, both in health and sickness, and for every condition of life ; alike suited to the
youngest child, the most robust adult, and the"weake>t invalid. Being thoroughly cooked, it is quickly and easily made ; and being
palatable, it is attractive, instead of, as so many foods are, repulsive. This New Food is unlike anv other," having special qualities and
virtues of its own, such as are possessed by nothing else. It is excellent for breakfast instead of bread and milk or bread and butter, for
Dinner is delicious as Custard with Stewed Fruit or as Baked Pudding, and is of inestimable value for Supper. It also contains the
greatest amount of nutriment in the smallest bulk, and in the most convenient and easily-digested form, and is invaluable in all cases of
weak digestion, confirmed indigestion, and constipation, as its daily use regulates the na'tural functions of the body, and renders medicine
for this purpose unnecessary.

EXCELLENT for Breakfast, NOURISHING as Custard, with CHILDREN grow Strong on it.

Stewed Fruit of all kinds. ADULTS keep Well on it.
INFANTS thrive Splendidly on it. INVALIDS recover on it.

UNSURPASSED for Supper.
DELICIOUS as Baked Pudding.

Analytical Report by Professor ATTFIELD, I.R.S., <tc, Professor of Practical Chemistry to the Pharmaceutical Society of Greet Britain.

" December 16th, 1880.

" I hava made a chemical analysis an 1 microscopical examination of Lloyd's ' TJntversai,' Food, a well-mixed and prepared meal. I find it to be »
(rue food, rich in all the elements necessary to the formation of flesh, fat, bone, and muscle, and therefore greatly superior to msre starchy ' foods.' ■
•elements are in a proper form, in a perfectly cooked form, and in natural proportions. The phosphates present equal fullv two per cent, of bonf phos-
phate. The nitrogenous or flesh-forming matter amounts to as much as fifteen per cent. (Signed) JOHN ATTFIELD.'

"HUNTER'S" INFALLIBLE VERMIN DESTROYER,

" The Best Extant."

HUNTERS

The enormous sale last
year of this old-esta-
blished article, and the
few specimens of testi-
monials below, stamp it
as undoubtedly " the
best extant."' It is very
neatly and very care-
fully put up throughout,
and is indeed a most
satisfactory article in

Thirty-five years'
Reputation.

every respect, proof of
which lies in the fact of
its having — although
not constantly adver-
tised— steadily main-
tained its reputation as
such, ever since its
i n trod uction to the trade
and the public, now
about thirty-five jearB
ago.

"CANNOT BE EXCELLED."

From Mr. Smith, Chemist, Glasgow : — " I have not kept any other
' Vermin Killer ' than yours for the last four years. It is the best I ever sold."

Prom Mr. Geo. Eagle, Merrickville, Sydney, Australia, to Mr. Mitchell,
Druggist, Pitt Street, Sydney : — " Sir, — I promised to let you know how
'Hunter's Vermin I)e3troyer' acted. Its effect was wonderful; in one
night it destroyed all the rats and mice about my house, which was
swarmed with them."

From Mr. A. Billington, Chemist. Wakefield : August 28,1878 :— "Dear
Sir, — Please send me a few of your Vermin Killer Registers. I can bear
testimony to the deadly effect of your ' Killer,' having one night laid in
my warehouse the content? of a 2d. packet, and found in the morning no
fewer than forty dead mice."

VIDE TESTIMONIALS.

Prom Messrs. P.Smith Si Co., Chemists, Runcorn, October, 1880.—
" In our opinion your • Destroyer ' is the best extant."

From Mr. James Froud, Chemist, Dorchester: — "Tour poison succeeds
to admiration. It is as effective as an infernal machine."

From Mr. Jas. Thompson, Low Hesket, near Carlisle, to Mr. R. T.
Fattinson, Chemist, Carlisle : — " Sir,— You can with confidence recommend
' Hunter's Vermin Destroyer.' It is the best thing I ever used, havirg
often cleared stack-yards of both rats and mice in a day or two."

From Mr. Edward Thornton, Chemist, Lyme Regis:— "I can bear
testimony to the efficacy of your ' Killer.' Parties who have purchased it
of me say that it is the best they have tried. Mice are rapidly destroyed
by it, and it quite answers the description you have given of it."
